Please let me know if there is an entry level position out there.
He's done small shop Desktop Support/PC Tech stuff but isnt seeking much money just to work in IT.

This is a global economy. You can't want the benefits of gloabalization (exploiting foreign workers in some industries) without paying the price (losing US jobs in other industries). America was based on the concept of capitalism, free trade, and "build a better mouse trap for less". Well, face the music - others can make it better for less.

I figured why not. My wife is currently looking for a job in the DC metro area. She'd like some sort of helpdesk or it esque job (not development) or perhaps a bank. Any suggestions on how to start looking?

Hrm, maybe you guys can point me in the right direction as I'm feeling lost.
I was laid off one week before Christmas and haven't really pulled myself back up yet. I'm 23 years old. Worked at an insurance agency as an agent since my senior year in high school until I was laid off. More CSR work then sales. So I have this nice resume for the insurance industry, but I feel I don't belong.
I enjoyed helping people, but I realized it's a dirty business - or at least the place I worked at. I'm not sure I want to waste another five years in something I don't enjoy. I do not know any programming whatsoever for PCs. I've basically just been tearing them apart and putting them back together since '95 (13). I can do the easy things as far as installs, OSs, general hardware/software repairs. I know I enjoy computer hardware, but never really picked up on the software part. I have no training, and things started off so well as an insurance agent I never attended college.
I guess at this point I'm asking you guys who are more familiar as your in the industry now, have gone through school, and have experienced the field.
Are there entry level jobs for guys like me? Or somewhere to go in the right direction? Is job security still a major problem?
I'll hopefully go see a college counsler soon to even get an idea of what type of field/career I'd even go into as I know I need a college degree. I'd just like to hear from the community that's actually in the field first. I'm in the Cleveland, OH area.
Thanks.
