In all honesty, this depends on where you live. I live in the suburbs of Detroit and finding IT work in this area is extremely difficult due to the depressed local economy (Automotive company lay-offs). It is not uncommon to be competing with 50-100 other people interviewing for the same position. I have to disagree with some of the statements in dracocats comment because some of the statements are just incorrect. The truth is: THERE MAY NOT BE IMMEDIATE EMPLOYMENT IN THIS INDUSTRY! Definitely find a specialty and become a guru in it.
