Sounds good, thanks hiltonizer.
actually it's hard to be younger, experience is out there and education isn't worth dick without the experience to put it into practice.
Been testing the waters to make a move. I went to a Voc school and started working IT in high school as part of that, giving me about 12 years experience and no college. I've worked for a startup, the state, microsoft, and am currently network admin for a public pharmaceutical company. No one seems to care that I never went to college, the bites keep coming. I'm being selective as I want a shorter commute, I live in NH and work in Boston currently.
It really pays to be a generalist, specialties have seem to have gone the consultant route. Programming however is of course huge on its own.

Is the IT (USA or please specify your country if you want to) job market heating up/cooling off or steady, based on what you see recently?
Good for new grads?
Bad for people over ~45, since companies can just hire younger for cheap?
Please discuss.
