In Reply To: I do not understand why the industry is crying that there is a shortage of people . When in Fact is a vast oversaturation of extreme inteligent qualified people out there , without - i.e in this wonderfull booming economy . Just a recent trip to the NYC career fare open houses , wil prove that - elbow to elbow people ,barely enough space to walk from booth to booth . Anybody wanting to go in this busines i.e IT industry must be crazy . Constantly having to go to school and, mind you at my expense only to get a job for the same miserable stagnated salary of two years ago , and some ocasions even significantly lower . And I done it all Networking, Remote Administration ,QA Testing I.e i was offered positions for 22k /anum .In NYC area I am considering getting out !! What is going in this industry ??

Message: You must be nuts. Every moron who dropped out of college due to lack of IQ is in programming now and starting salaries for those are $45-50. I personally know people who don't know what a logarithm is and working on VB making those money. Others, especially in NYC start from $60K. Every programmer I know in NYC with 3 yrs of experience is pulling $100K a year. I wouldn't call that stagnant salaries.
