Go to monster.com, put in yuor zip code, and select "information technology."

Seriously; this is a question that is too general to be useful and something you could easily look up for yourself. IT jobs range from technician to senior management level.

I'm aware of that. And did that already, too. :) I'm interested in some hands on electronic jobs and not sure about something like that in field of IT. Maybe some communication systems or something like that...

What do you mean by "hands on electronic jobs" ? Usually you aren't soldering anything in IT, if that's what you mean. IT techs are pulling cable, installing/configuring network devices, etc.
