The IT industry is expanding and Baby Boomers are retiring, leaving a talent shortage in the industry. In 2008 alone, the average
starting salary for IT jobs will
increase by 5.3 percent over 2007 salaries. For higher demand positions, salaries will
rise by 7 percent according to Robert Half Technology.
This is a great time to get into Information Technology. As careers in IT diversify, there is ample opportunity for students to find secure, stimulating jobs in their fields of interest.
