I'm curious what today's IT environment is like for someone who wants to start a career in IT. I've been in it for a long time, and have been involved with recruiting and interviewing potential candidates. I can only imagine that things today are quite different.
I get asked on occasion about how to get into a career in IT, or sometimes if it's even worth consideration as a career. It's a tough question to answer, especially since I don't see it being the same type of life-long career that it used to be.
What does a career in IT look like today for someone new?

Well, in a way i agree with MrSpock - IT is getting popularity in rather developing countries compared to Developed one. IT BPO might sound a good option for them who do not "own the system". If I'm so rich that I can hire cheap-labor to support what I've made (developed) years ago then for the people who I've hired it's a good paying profession but for the near-by population, where I made the business, I've actually made less opportunities for the people who (or whose forefathers) have given their sweat-and-blood to that profession...but then as a businees-man, I'll always look for cheap investment and better results!
