I went to Uni to study Computer Science when the IT boom peaked. After I finished my degree with 2.1 it took me 5 months to get a job (I was aiming at any IT related job going).

Finally got one with an online shop at £20k as a junior web developer, got made redundant after 8 months, took a pay cut and got another job in technical support 3 months later, and after 6 months got made redundant again. Yeah!

I've got a job now that I've been in for a year and a half, so far so good, it's not great pay, not a whole lot more than what I started on. Never have got the job I truely wanted, well not yet anyway, there's still time. As for any people I know, as soon as they mention thinking of studying IT, I put them off as much as possible, the cesspool is overflowing and only if you're truely excellent having been programming or rebuilding servers from the age of 2, or more likely no someone who knows someone else will you get a job.

Oh I love IT!
