Good question and I think a lot of IT people are wondering the  same thing. First off, there's no such thing as a recommended course of study in IT. Given the breadth of the field and rapid pace of change, the better question is what interests you, where are your strengths and talents, and what motivates you. Every sincere recommendation on career direction is going to say the same thing so you probably already know that.\n\nRegarding what skills will remain relevent in IT in the US, this is probably best answered by the trends and forces driving the industry:\n\n1. Offshore work is going to grow as companies leverage lower cost resources for their IT work. This means development, support, and testing mostly, but foreign companies are eager to go into other areas such as consulting and healthcare. The benefits of low cost labor, taxes, etc. are too high to ignore and it's better to adapt than resist.\n\n2. Most IT budgets are shrinking as more work is outsourced and internal cost-reduction measures put in place. IT skills  that reduce IT and business costs are a priority.\n\n3. While offshoring will move most IT work overseas, most overseas IT companies have their own issues that should be considered. Specifically, Wipro, Tata, etc. have to play the numbers game regarding demand so newer technologies are not areas they compete in generally. Newer technologies like Rails, Ajax, XAML, etc. are too risky for them to invest time and resources if the demand is limited.\n\n4. Another big trend in business is process automation. Actually we should be more worried about automation eliminating jobs than outsourcing. Developing automation on a resuable SOA-based framework is where, IMHO, app development is heading.\n\n5. Lastly, the skills that make you relevent may not be technical as much as business oriented. Can you build and deploy a technical project that saves the business money? Can you demonstrate keeping a budget and schedule? Can you show how you collaborated with a team and made a meaningful contribution? The better you do at these regardless of your technical prowess is what makes you relevent to future business.\n\nGood Luck!

In all industries, as well professions like law and medicine, there are plenty of experienced personnel from whom to choose - and these are very much a Buyers' market, where the employers have a clear-cut idea [based on their own past experiences] of how much a candidate deserves.\n...But IT is a relatively new field - and very few have any worthwhile experience. And so many new IT firms are sprouting-up each day - launched by totally inexperienced owners !\n...They too hope to get some of the 'best brains' that are available - and offer large pay-packets that match [or come close to] those offered by IT market leaders, in the hope of attracting the right candidates. So, it becomes a Sellers' marketplace !\n...But all these 'new' employers get are mostly 'freshers', and they have little choice but to appoint them - and pay them whatever they had advertised they would.\nSome of the 'freshers' are indeed bright - and as they are keen to keep on drawing their fancy salaries, they work overtime to hone their skills and make-up for their lack of experience through their extra-enthusiasm. \nAnd as returns in the 'trade' are extremely high, the owners are often forced to pay these 'bright ones' even more - to make sure that they don't leave !\nSo, it seems [to onlookers only !] that the IT salaries are huge : But the price [in terms of an absence of any personal life, very little mental rest, and physical ailments caused by constantly sitting before their PCs and staring at their screens] the employees pay for these, is no less either !\nOne last comment : For the few who succeed and rise, there are many who (a) prove unable to generate the quantity and quality of work-output that is expected, (b) ruin their health by blowing-up their fancy salaries on all the usual vices and turn unproductive, or (c) turn 'too big for their breeches' by trying to throw their non-existant 'weight' around. \nThese guys and gals find themselves 'out' even before they could get really 'in' !

That depends on the area of the US you're considering and what specific field (software development, networking, etc.) you're pursuing.  \n\nThe demand for IT professional seems to be increasing.  So, you're probably entering the US job market at a good time.\n\nI have found that consulting firms pay the most initially and the salary increase are better than non-consulting companies.  \n\nPlus, if you are single, you can work for a large consulting firm that will send you anywhere in the US.  This might be beneficial as they would most likely cover the cost of your housing.  \n\nBased on your question, I would assume that you're from another country.  If so, then your language skills (English) is of most importance.\n\nI've been in IT for 16 years (US) and have met some really smart IT professionals from other countries.  The problem in many cases is their ability to speak English.  This is a MAJOR problem in my opinion.  \n\nI hope this helps and best wishes.\n\nScott....

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.

The question depends on location.  Localized pay is the standard now for this skill.  I work as a software engineer in San Angelo, Texas, and garner 51k.  This is a very low cost place to live and work.  If I were to transfer these skills to a metro area like San Antonio, I have been offered 90k to live and work there.  I have also received offers for 120k for Hawaii, and 90-110 for Washington D.C.  \n\nI am semi-retired and don't need a big move or change in my life, and I am very happy with the freedom I have here to be creative and productive in ways that make me happy.  Money is important, but job satisfaction and the people you work for will dictate the balance you desire in a salary.\n\nBut I would give you a word of caution.  Many companies are trying to get software engineers ala carte.  They will hire based on limited time periods (contracts of 6 months, or 1-5 years) to apply their skills against a specific project until that project is no longer being worked.  Make sure you attempt to hire on as a permanent employee, and not a contract employee.\n\nFinally, you skills will determine how much you catch the eye of an employer.  Make sure your skills are what the industry is looking for in the location that you are looking.

It all depends on the field of IT you work in...I believe year over year, the CCIE is the number one certification to have. From my understanding, if you have this certificate you can easily make 6 figures starting anywhere. Sys Admins are becoming more scarce do to companys sending over their datacenters over to India. A good place to look is www.dice.com to see what IT jobs are available and www.salary.com on the pay of each area.
