Is the IT field all it's cracked up to be?
It doesn't seem like this field is as promising as it once was (or perhaps I'm reading into too much of the gloom and doom stuff). I'm a jack of all trades and have a working knowledge of many different types of technology but rarely see jobs that I'm qualified for since the employers are pretty picky these days.
Even after all the work, all the time, and all the frustration, I still have an average job with average pay and never feel like I have a grasp on it all. There's WAY too much to learn. It's like you have to spend hours outside of work studying just to keep up.
I thought about a career change or getting involved in another field where I can utilize my computer skills rather than be a pure IT person. Has anybody done this? Has anyone had good results with an MBA and IT degree?
