Info Tech: Exploring Careers & What the Future Holds

[track]

Hi!
Can anyone (or everyone) explain to me some areas of information technology and what jobs exist there? It's one of my few options and I would like to know more about it. What kind of jobs there and your opinion about that career in future?

Thanks in advance.

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.

Now realized I'm searching on completely wrong field. I should ask about careers in electronics and what kind of "hands on" jobs there exist for Ms degree. Sorry everyone.

Thanks for correction, fss.
