Well, from my short swim in the industry I can tell you the following market trends: 1. Advertising is hot, everything from analytical people to graphical designers goes. 2. System Analysts are being hired quickly today, you must have a firm background in your field. 3. DBA, not "system" but those that responsible for scalability and optimization of the scheme. 4. Good networking people are always in demand. 5. JAVA, as in serverlets and jsp's can be a good direction for you. 6. Security experts, you can merge into a security firm as web application security consultant. 7. Well, QA is also an option if your looking for a relaxed position.
Thanks, that adds a few more options to my list.
On a personal note, I never agreed with the claim "Current market demand". My answer to this is simple - If you want to make a difference, start thinking differently. In translation to the software industry, I you want to make a `fine` salary and work in a good company - find something your interested in and pursue, be good at what you do and work will just pop up for you.
That's what I'm trying to do, basically. Only I don't believe in "The Secret" and its ilk. If I decided that I'm interested in CGI, or artificial intelligence, or quantum computing, or Macintosh application programming, do you really think that a job would "pop up"? Should I spend my 6 months on a pipe dream? I'll have to fall back on LAMP then, and if so, I'd rather take a vacation in Japan instead, at least I'll have fine memories. ;)
Anyway thanks, I appreciate the above list and the advice. Herouth ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
