IT can be a great career...just depends on your ambition. I've been in it for 30 years (started working in the college computing center my freshmen year back in 75). Today I'm the CIO of THE only real motorcycle company in the world (hmmm..wonder which one that is? lol). I've done applications, infrastructure, security etc. Get experience in all areas and that grooms you for the top job!

Technology is getting more complicated with everything and everybody being connected. Real high demand skills are network engineers (nic to nic people...lan, wan, voice...converged networking), security engineers (not admins..the ones that can build security solutions and can probe like the best hackers), and enterprise architects. Those are all fun disciplines also.

If you ever want to chat about what management looks for, someone who has run the gauntlet of IT jobs, and is passionate about what they do give me a pm and I'll be happy to spend some time talking about it.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) Hmmm where do I start, on one hand Jim Im really very interested in hearing the inside of what goes on at the IT shop at HD, on the other hand, where do you get the EGO?

Not to HiJack Britt (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/hijacked.gif) but referancing HD and technology in the same paraghraph (as it relates to thier products) is laughable, you should look to the big (Japanese) 4 for inovation and technology, evan Ducati before HD (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)
