Why IT jobs are declining (Score 1)

Having lived through the crash of 2001 in IT, the answer is obvious. In Southern California people work to better their lifestyles. The people that are prospering, for example, have import/export companies, mostly with the Far East. They speak the language, can go to the countries they do business with, get the goods for cheap and sell them to our consumer society. They live in fancy houses, drive fancy cars and put their kids into the best schools. So who would aspire to get a job that pays under $130K/yr when that's the minimum needed to buy a house in So Cal. Why waste your time on an IT career? What sort of future is there in that job? How secure is the job? What is it that the people of the U.S.A. are supposed to do in order to make the $130K/yr in order to qualify for a mortgage? People should find professions that will allow them to make enough money to live in a house and not be a poor slub driving 4 or 5 hours a day on the freeway. Things have to change. IT belongs elsewhere. We are merely the consumers and we must broaden our consumerism. This includes our dependance on pills, lawyers, fast-food, malls, cars, etc. etc. etc.
