Are IT Jobs Recession Proof?

I ran into a post over on Mint's blog today that listed the top 5 recession proof careers of the next decade. #2 and #3 are of interest:
  • Networking/System Administration
  • Computer Software Engineers/Applications
The Bureau of Labor Statistics is projecting that both of the careers will grow dramatically over the next five years with Networking/System Administration adding more jobs than any other profession, 773,000 to be exact.

I'll also add that if you want be ready for this growth check out Scott's post entitled :"Resolutions for IT Pros in a Down Economy". Scott breaks down pretty clearly how you can setup yourself up for success in your career by making sure your knowledge is up to snuff.
