Forrester Research says there are now 900K IT jobs and that by 2015 there will be only 600K IT jobs in the United States. Unfortunately, I won't be retiring 'til well after that so I'm going to have to think of something.... But! The above newsfactor story is pretty old and things have changed slightly since then. So, I'm not quite so pessimistic.
