Lately i've been giving some thought to going to tech school. I'm wondering what areas of the computer industry are the most shorthanded both now and in the near future. Anyone have some clues as to where i should invest my study?

somebody is bitter. IT isnt going anywhere. If anything it will be more prevalent in our lives every year.

With that being said.....I'd invest all my time specifically in RFID related studies.

Most short handed are Usability experts. Unfortunately they are not in too high of demand despite the fact that there aren't enough of them.

Mmm-hmmm.. and how!

The only thing about network security is it takes a good 5 years to really be good at it. And a fundmentally sound detailed knowledge of network is required as well.
