1. I counted five which will likely be filled by H-1Bs and another three by grifters.

Good work, CNN!

2. Nice knowing my job is 1st on the list...

I would like to shoot a number of folks who are working job #6 though (IT BA) :puke: About 1 out of 10 have a clue...

A thought for young folks, always see what the graduation/job rates are when you are looking for a profession. I got an Associates Degree in telecom in the early 90's. I looked at the rates of people who graduated, who got jobs in their field and how long. Everyone graduating from the previous year had a job in telecom within 3 months. When I looked at the folks who were taking Lasers and Robotics it was like 50% after 6 months...

Something to think about...oh, and don't be an IT BA :)

4. What's Wrong With IT/BAs?

I'm trying to transition into that field. I'm a Project Manager, and I'm taking financial risk management courses.

5. As long as you know what you are talking about...

it's just such a generic title...

In particular for Telecom, you would expect a business analyst to have some knowledge of telecomunications. Where I work a guy was hired a couple months back who's last job he was a BA at a bank. Has not a clue...not a clue.

7. I Hear You!

That's why I'm taking classes and really digging into the material. I came from a field where people are made global managers of an IT dept without a lick of IT knowledge. We created data warehouse database solutions, and folks are made managers because of their office political ties.

10. you are on the right track then my friend

The good BA's I know will never make above Director because of bluntness, but will never be laid off as well. Performance matters... The same for the 3 out of 10 main Project Managers I work with...

Good Luck!

not a single job creates a tangible good. Service, service, service.

8. Nice to see that Network/IT engineering is well represented in that.

11. "Most job growth" doesn't mean

shit. The "fastest-growing" jobs typically have low numbers and are absolutely meaningless to people looking for jobs.

The numbers are piddling overall; in fact, they are downright pathetic. There will be far more demand for sales clerks, janitors, food servers, clerical workers, and other "menial" workers than there will EVER be for these jobs.

I HATE articles like this because they encourage a flood of people to waste piles of money getting trained, only to find when they finish training few of those jobs are available.
