  5. Few who lived through the dot-com bust in 2001 would have predicted that the technology sector could come back in four short years. But that's what happened. The United States Department of Labor says technology is one of the country's fastest-growing industries, with an average starting salary of $67,900 and some 600,000 new jobs expected by 2012.

  7. The most sought-after corporate IT workers in 2010 may be those with no deep-seated technical skills at all. The nuts-and-bolts programming and easy-to-document support jobs will have all gone to third-party providers in the U.S. or abroad. Instead, IT departments will be populated with "versatilists" -- those with a technology background who also know the business sector inside and out, can architect and carry out IT plans that will add business value, and can cultivate relationships both inside and outside the company. • Hot Skills, Cold SkillsThe IT worker of 2010 won't be a technology guru but rather a 'versatilist.'Stacy Collett, July 17, 2006
