Who do you think is going to support "the cloud"? The "cloud genies"? ;)

There will be plenty of opportunities for people in the IT career field.

Michael I didn't say IT was going to implode but IF cloud computing takes off then as I've said I think data center skills will be in demand as to my understanding thats what cloud computing is just big data centers. If your seeing cloud Genies then I would suggest you go and see someone.

 

Can't really say about Security or Forensics in Newcastle to be honest haven't really come across much but then again I haven't been looking for those types of jobs. Best advice is to search the job sites like Reed, Jobsite and Jobserve to see if there is a demand for them in Newcastle or surrounding areas.

 

That's the point - I'm not seeing them at all. There will still need to be seasoned IT professionals who support not only the cloud, but end-user desktops as well.

For those who weren't in IT when the Internet started taking off like gangbusters, this is the same sort of gloom-and-doom that was predicted back then. Move along, folks, nothing to see here...

 

This is an interesting discussion. I've read a few articles in the last month or so stating that the higher level IT jobs such as network/sys admins, will be available more than ever and will also have a lot more competition than first or second line work...

 

I read lots of articles last week about predictions in IT skills demand in future but found too many different predictions. Though, those predictions are only someone's oppinion.
Here is the one I liked.
