What About the Job Market? 

High-tech jobs are in demand. In general, there are two major career tracks: technical and management.  

• Technical - if you really like putting things together - for example, hardware, software, networks, or databases - or if you are more mathematically inclined than most, you'd probably be most comfortable pursuing a technical career path, choosing to specialize in some area of interest.
  
• Management - if you're more into planning, strategizing, implementing, and administering, a management track is probably better for you.  Individuals on this career path have a good concept of how technology is organized and deployed, and their responsibilities often involve planning, managing, and securing the resources necessary to complete projects.
