Public perception of IT opportunities

I am writing this as more of a vent because I am getting tired of the misguided attitude of the general public about the IT market.

I strongly believe that IT positions will not be easily obtainable like previous years from here on out. If you dofind a position, your qualifications will have to exceed what you would have to have in the past.

Added to that, because of the slow down in the creation of new jobs, loss of older ones, and influx of people switching careers and entering into the field because they were misguided into thinking that the market has an over abundance of jobs, expect that market will be like this for quite a long while.

Just irks me how the general public believes we have it made.
