Story: Is IT a good career choice?

Bravo Greg! At least someone has a sanity check and describes things as they really are. What i would like to see is a judicial investigation or expose into the total lack of due diligence shown by senior management these days in their blind rush to embrace offshoring/outsourcing as the IT cost nirvana. Managing your information systems is NOT simply a line on a quote - sit down and work out the TCO and don't forget to include the business cost impact of communication problems, lack of flexibility, response times, inability to prioritize, faceless responsibility, helpdesk blackholes and user frustration. Oh, and try and find someone in management prepared to admit they accepted these when they signed up...good luck! A full IT career in today's world? Battery hens have more variety.
