According to eWeek, many of you IT folks are having second thoughts about your career choices.

“If you ask an IT pro what they think of their chosen career path, a surprising number might pause before giving you a litany of reasons that the technology workplace leaves them feeling unsettled.

They love what they do, but they’re not sure IT is a great place to be doing it anymore. Even worse, they’re not sure that they would encourage their own computer-inclined children to pursue the same line of work.”

What say you, IT pros? Are you having second thoughts? Would you discourage a geeky kid from pursuing IT as a career?
