Answer 1

I guess that telecoms and online media (like internet broadcasting - Joost, for instance) will be the big thing. In this industry, I've found that it's best not to specialize in any single field as you may find that when your contract ends, you'll not be able to get a job elsewhere - possibly due to a glut of experience in that particular field, or a technology who's time has passed. Be prepared to do (almost) anything! Good luck.

Answer 2

I've read ComputerWorld a long time, and they just did another research study on what will be hot in IT in 2010:



Demand for certain skills will grow, particularly in the areas of:



-Web applications,

-Wireless Web connectivity and

-Security,



"Any IT worker who's not upgrading their skills on an ongoing basis is falling behind," Vardi says. Moshe Vardi is a professor of computer science at Rice University in Houston and co-author of the "Globalization and Offshoring of Software," a report released by the Association for Computing Machinery.



What else will be hot in 2010?



-Project management: The boomers are retiring and not very many college students are going into IT

-Information management: We have more and more stuff we want available on the net-who will keep track of it and secure it?

-Change management: We keep merging companies, then breaking them in pieces, then rearranging them-who rearranges all the computer systems such as payroll, A/R, A/P, marketing, customer service?
