I've hearding about all the Technology updates since I've been reading the discussions on this website. But I've not heard anyone talk about the massive layoffs that companies are doing and the recession that we are going through right now, as a "Nation". I'm I just dreaming about this topic or does anyone has some type of opinion on this matter?

The thing that gets me wondering is it really worth the hassle trying to get an I.T career with all these new layoff's? I am 24 and doing technical support (which I hate), I would love to dive in deeper into the I.T industry but with the current situation I would be safer joining a building site. My job is safe as we are an outsourcing company so its cheaper for our clients but I dont want to be on a help desk when I reach the age of 40, what do I do? Its so unfair.

Sometimes, working on the helpdesk can be a good start to any IT career. But it only matters if which type of level of helpdesk your doing, because I too worked on the helpdesk with 100% phone support and it was something that I hated as well. Maybe, you can test the market when things hopfully get a little better, because that's what I'm going to do.
