There is no future in IT
The IT bubble bust around 2000 was only the tip of the ice burg.

Today, IT is a mediocre industry that has an ecosystem of incompetent and insufficiently educated people from the "IT Recruiters/HR", the people doing the hiring to the workers themselves. Over half the people in IT do not have a degree... just looking for the quick buck, they take a small course or 2 year diploma thinking that this is good enough qualifications because the incompetent "IT Recruiters" don't know much about IT. They themselves, and most of the people doing the hiring are simply unqualified.

In the near future, IT will be outsourced and the data center will be hosted off-site. Some examples are Amazon EC2,S3, Google apps, etc. This trend will continue into the future and less IT staff will be required.

There is no future in IT.
