a broad field (Score 1)

There are alot of different things you can do in IT. If all I did was write code, then I could get kinda bored. When I was in college, I counted the days until I graduated. Then I ended up getting a job as a DBA. On a given day I can go from tuning SQL statements to figuring out why the webserver is spitting out Jserv error messages. I might spend an hour or two writing a Perl program to parse through some datafiles. I guess the point is, a job in the IT field can be almost anything you want it to be.
