LAN/WAN: Fastest growing job category for the next decade

Don’t just take my word for it:

The information technology industry is heating up again. There is currently a high volume of LAN/WAN positions and not enough qualified candidates. In fact, LAN/WAN positions (network systems analysts) are rated as the fastest growing job category for the next 10 years by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

This comes from a LAN/WAN internship posting here: http://www.4jobs.com/job.asp?id=36488016&src=IALR . As my contact put it, “2good2btrue!” But it is, in fact, true. The only thing I don’t understand: why people aren’t flocking to the field, in this time of high unemployment. Although, actually, I do understand. This is a challenging, rigorous field. If you’ve got what it takes, they’re looking for you.
