Ask yourself: would you be willing to do a job you don't like, just for the money?

The difference between someone who likes his job and someone who doesn't, is that the first will happily spend some time of his own looking into additional tools, new features, and so on. (S)he will be reading some specialized magazines, attend a trade show on saturday maybe, things like that. The one that does it only for the money will be so relieved on friday evening that her/his awful job will be out of her/his mind until monday morning.

And guess who will be best at the job? The one who happily does some extra or the other one? Guess who will have the best pay and the best career perspective?

"IT" says everything and nothing. There is somuch difference between a programmer or a networking engineer or a database administrator, you can't just pick like from a catalogue. Try some of each. Do some volunteering. Taste a little. And then don't follow any advice at all, but follow your guts.
