pays good, when your good

hours are normally pretty straight,

industry is still expanding even within current economic depression

Very under appreciated job, when everything is going well, they dont notice you, when something fucks up, its yoru head.

depending on what you do you can end up boxed in a small room all day every day.

Only get into I.T. If you actually find it interesting, it is more of a career than a job, if you get into it for the money you will almost crash and burn. You have to have a basic understanding as a minimum and at least a moderate interest to do well.

Pros? You can make mad money. Cons? Nearly everyone you end up working with will be male and socially inept. Also, you might have to deal with stupid people all day. That's when the saying "the problem is between the keyboard and the chair" comes in handy, haha.

Well I can't say for sure because I don't know what you're doing. Most people seem to assume that if you major in IT, you'll wind up in customer service when I'm an IT major and am heading towards Web Development. If you go the "traditional" route, you'll make good money but have to deal with idiots all day.

You will make good money if you have certifications such as cisco or are a project manager/director. OR specialize in something such as security which again you need certifications or databases. Other then that expect to be a monkey working 9-5
