Techies Keen to Keep Jobs In the Family

Posted by timothy on from the do-you-feel-the-same-way dept.

Stony Stevenson writes "IT staff are 'overwhelmingly' happy to recommend their profession to their children, a survey has found. Three-quarters of nearly 1,000 IT professionals surveyed said that they would 'definitely recommend' a career in the business to their offspring. Around 70 percent also felt that their jobs are secure, and that they are expecting a salary increase next year. The survey also found that 86 per cent of respondents expect to move jobs voluntarily in the next three years."

    As a programmer, I've not had a hard time keeping a job, finding a new job, or advancing in my career at all. So sadly typical. You assume that if things are alright for you, right now then everything is alright for everybody everywhere, and always will be.

    Please note the statistics by the US Dept. of Labor, unless you put more faith in staffing firm spokesman.

    What do you mean by that? It's done forever? Bad at the moment? No, bad for the foreseeable future. I responded to a similar comment here:
