I used to hire/fire a lot of IT staff in my last position. there can be a lot of money in there, but you've got to work up to it, you won't get it overnight. A few years ago in the UK, there was a boom in the UK with people left, right and centre doing the MCSE courses to become microsoft certified professionals. We hired a few, gave them a chance and then got shot of them as they don't have the experience to back it up. Every fix they did was straight from a manual and didn't always work. Before anyone starts whinging about giving them a chance, they were in the contract market and as such were there to fill a whle temporarily, which they couldn't do, I'm sure with training they would have been alright. Personally, I always take people on who have worked their way up to top ranks as they have put the time and effort in and deserve their chance a lot more than someone who has heard that you can make money in IT and has jumped ship, got an MSCE and thinks they know everything there is to know about IT. Start at the bottom and work your way up and you can make some serious money. Oracle at the moment is big bucks, networking, security...

I am sorry but from the old school 20+ years ago, I started in IT like the other guy. I am just astounded at the calibre of IT staff. I have met many more who started off at the bottom and grafted up the ladder. It's actaully wake uptime. No matter what you come into the IT business world with amounts to very little. All it's done is cloud make you think you can earn wads from day one. Forget it, programming you can eran a lot if you come up with the ideads for yourself, networkings is a good source of income. Put programming,networking and database development in one your starting to earn the biggies. Companies need all rounders not a highly tuned C# when they need someobne to get their hands dirty. There's nothing wrong with being an excellent C# programmer. However the drawback is that's what you'll be and as a manager and director where the bigger money is you need to know the whole field not just a small part of it.
