What these guys say is quite true. If you want to get into the IT field, though, having just a degree isn't enough. You have to network. No, I'm not talking about running CAT5 or setting up a router, I'm talking about personal networking. Go to seminars, go to college-sponsored-alumni functions, job fairs, any place that can get you talking to people is a good place to start. This doesn't just apply to just IT either. With IT, you want to focus on line-of-business specifics. Most companies have IT shops. That's why IT is such a huge damn field. Hot areas right now are as follows: Networking, Security, Systems Analysis and Programming at the wayyyy bottom (due to outsourcing). This should be a good start for ya.
