I think that the major issue with new grads are that they really don't know how big of an umbrella the term "IT" really is. They don't know how many different specialties there are. There are so many different fields of expertise in IT that it take a lifetime to list. Just of the top my head I can think of Security, Networking, Web Dev, Programming and so on. It's sort of like the medical field. There are literally as many different types of doctors as there are bones in your body. Of course you would think IT is boring if all you think of is Help Desk Support. It's up to the individual to make a niche for themselves and find a specialty within IT that exciting to them.
