I have been in IT for 10 years. I have two certificates in Network Admin and 9 certs. I make $14hr. Jobs are very physical. There is a lot of abuse. So turnover is high. Whatsmore job security is low. There is no advancement. Hours are long and 7 day weeks are common. The IT dept in most companies are not very positively viewed. IT would be a good job for a high school dropout not a college grad. US companies endeavor to hire foreigners for the good paying IT jobs and hire Americans for the lower paying physical and mundane duties. This is the reason there is a "lot of work" in IT. Just like there is a lot of work available for Americans to pick tomatoes in California.
