I have been working with Java and related technologies for 10 years, exclusively for about 8 years. I highly recommend it.\n\nMy job (software engineer/consultant) pays about as good as you can get without owning your own business.\n\nThere was a lull in business after 9/11, but that is a thing of the past. Twice in the past three years I have been involved in a bidding war, with two potential clients both wanting to hire me and exchanging offers to try and get me.\n\nI have friends who are .Net consultants who are lowering their billing rate at the same time that I am increasing mine.\n\nHOWEVER, I must say that there is a limited shelf life for *ANY* programming technology. The most important thing you can do is stay flexible and hone your skill at picking up new technologies on the fly.

I'm assuming you mean software development at a medium-to-large sized company:\nIn that case, team management and systems architect tend to have the best compensation levels.

IBM is way up there.  I think I read more than 100,000

For technology I'd look in Charlotte.  Lots of retirees are going there so a company in that industry might be a good target.

software engineer is a pretty broad term.  Animation is pretty specific.  The BEST thing to be is flexible.  I think all engineer should have strong skills in web technologies since it is definitely the area with the most opportunity.

I agree with pea. cole. a "trade" will be the best thing to learn. like you said Computers are what everyone will be needing. You should look into studying nano technology that will get you some serious money or you could try cures for diseases.

This depends on what your goals are. Do you want to be a hands on techie for most of your career (study software ngineering and design, heavy on database), or do you want to cut through the field work quickly and move in to management (study software design, data telecommunication and lots of accounting/finance)?\n\nMost importantly pick a field that genuinely interests you, or you won't be able to stay at it long enough to make your money.

Technical jobs are definitely more important.  In the last 20 years we've experienced a technological revolution.  Computers are the way of the future - so IT jobs matter!

From a high level, Siebel is the leader in CRM (Customer Relationship Management) software. They have thousands of customers, here are some major ones:\n\nIBM, HP, T-Mobile, Cisco, Marriott, Microsoft, Bank of America, GM, Sun, BT, Telecom Italia, Société Générale, and many many more.\n\nSiebel Systems was the dominant CRM vendor in the late 1990's. However, their position began to slip after the Dot Com crash. This was attributed to the high total cost of ownership (TCO) of the software, and significant problems with the 7.0 suite of products. Siebel Systems' annual revenue has trended downward since 2001.\n\nOn September 12, 2005, it was announced that Oracle Corporation had agreed to buy Siebel Systems for $10.66 per outstanding share, or approximately $5.85 billion in cash.

hey neha.. the industry is good and getting better , yes job vacancies are there....\nThe most important thing about this industry now adays is specializing. It is common knowledge that in every field use of it is common ; you name it , IT is there. so better specialize in a particular field before choosing a job . Some specializations are mainframes, systems, unix-linux- sun ,  or something like animations, \nmake a search on google or yahoo and find out what different job profiles are there.\n IT is too vast, just knowing how to program in C or C++ or Java or such is not enough. you also need to choose what job profile you want (knowing how to program  is for base level developers)like systems engineer, QA, security engineer, support....\n\na brief idea you can just go to any leading software companies site and look into their CAREERS section and you will get a good idea what positions are and fields are available in the market.

Hi Deep,\n\nIf you are working on SAP and that too in ABAP, but still not finding it interesting then I think you should look for a change of job in a good company who really uses SAP in their business.\n\nIf you still want to be in JAVA, then work on SAP Netweaver product suite which gives you exposure on ABAP+JAVA coding in Web Dynpros and BSP applications.\n\nHope it makes things some what easy for you.\n\nRegards,\nYatin

It depends on the kind of jobs you're looking for.  The tech sector is pretty hot now, relative to how it's been in the past few years.  It's not like trying to find work in Seatle, San Jose, or other tech hot spots though.  Other types of jobs are in great demand too, especially construction related.  Without knowing what kind of job you're looking for, it's impossible to give you a good idea.

It depends o what you want to do with it. java is widely used ut a bit bulky and has too much of legacy. Python and ruby are new entry - etter designed, ut low in acceptability. smalltalk is almost extinct now. For AI lisp is good.\n\nFor job probably java is safe bet. But no language is difficult to master once you have grasped one properly, and no language will last for life time. So you got to learn a few.\n\nI would vote for java, ruby & lisp - in that order...

java, c++, cobol (yeah I know funny but it's still out there) all pay more an hour if you can find a job, web services, business integration and linux apps are where the real money is.\n\nphp, java script ajax style are the latest web development languages, but web site development is pretty crowded keeping the $ low.\n\nC/C++ for gaming but you have to be real good and real lucky to make it big\n\nvb,.net,c# if your heading into a msft shop but be prepared for outsourcing here heavy competion
