Not bad timing to try to get some training in IT, though, so you're ready to catch the next wave.I've been sending resumes to the East Coast since the beginning of the year, hoping to move back out there, and I've heard from exactly one company, who was paying less in the Tri-State area than I'm making in Chicagoland, with a much lower standard of living. I'm lucky to have my IT job right now; a friend of mine has much more experience than me, and has been looking for work for many months now, and is considering getting out of IT completely.So, the moral is: do what you love, but be practical about it. If you don't love IT, but are just wanting to get someplace with a better salary, I would suggest that now is not the time.</blockquote>
