Sad future for Information Technology professionals
Gone are the days when calling yourself an IT professional was hip. In fact, it looks like the situation is not going to get any better. I've observed this trend for quite a while, and the article Programming Jobs Losing Luster in US confirms that it is an irreversible trend.
Changes in the last few years have meant that IT professionals must posess multi-faceted skills. It is no longer enough to be just a pure techie -- one must be able to face customers, to manage projects, and to have deep understanding of business proceses. Most importantly, one has to be able to adapt to one's environment, and quickly.
A good time for all of us IT professionals to re-evaluate our career objectives.
