I'm very fortunate that both myself (6 yrs) and my wife (4.5 yrs) are
still gainfully employed at Cisco Systems in the park.

I've seen the employment threads this past week.  Key points and my
opinion:

* there *are* IT/computer related jobs here, but you need to work all
angles to get one and it may take a bit of time

* times *have* changed and I think a significant portion of those
employed in this field will *never* find similar jobs because of these
changes

The last point is proven by all of the layoffs in the industry that
haven't had a significant impact on productivity or profits (and many
times productivity/profits have increased).  It's a different world, you
have to adapt or you'll be left behind.

BTW, these are MY opinions, not those of my employer.
