Opportunities in IT exist across a broad range of industries—finance, health care, education, government, and business services, or just about any organization that has a website or is required to exchange or store information. And despite the technology sector downturn and the outsourcing trend, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that job growth in the technology sector will be second only to job growth in the health-care sector between 2002 and 2012. You may have to work a little harder to find and get the job you want, but the opportunities remain promising.
