Wow, thanks for jumping on my post for no reason at all.So much for trying to be helpful and give a little input to the situation.
I wasn't even replying to you, I was replying to the post above mine.
Anyway, as for IT. If you have a good degree and get your foot in the right door, you can make a lot. We hire our GA Tech grads at a pretty healthy salary and they usually are at 6 figures in just a few years. It depends on your specialty though, parts of the field are so saturated.
It's all about what you like though. I was great at programming and have a degree in Computer Science but working in it was awful. I couldn't do it. I went for it because it was easy and the hottest field around at the time but once I actually had to do it for a living, even though the pay was good (but, I make twice as much now so I made the right move), I had to get out and find something else. I was bored out of my mind.
Some people love it though so it's all about what you can see yourself doing for years and years to come.
