Career options:

 

Since the Internet business bubble burst a lot of people have the idea that there aren't any jobs. But it in the IT field demand greatly outweighs the supply. In fact there are more information-technology jobs now than there were before the dot-com peak.

 

 

There are numerous job listings seeking computing professionals on careers.com, the IEEE’s careers site, and elsewhere. The ACM Career Resource Centre, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, careerspace.com, and many other sites offer testimonials and interviews with professionals currently working in computing careers.
