Oh dear, till now my idea was that have been rather unfortunate and unlucky when I choosed to be an IT pro. I only have around 10 yrs of work experience in the IT market; I didn't get to the end of my studies in Information Technology at the University in Milan as I needed to get to work. Have worked in 4 different places the most important being a rather respected and reknowned Company in the UK. So, despite not holding a degree most tell me that I have had some very good work experiences. I'm now rather disappointed of the fact that the IT market is not hiring anymore, not as it used to do years ago and changing job in this sector has nowadays become more and more difficult. I therefore find it difficult to believe that, despite your degree, you are having difficulties in finding a job in the IT, even though the situation is not as good as we would want it to be. Here in Italy have recently declined some proposals simply because I deeemed them inappropriate for my interests and experiences, the simple fact being that only specific IT sectors (like TLC for instance) are hiring today. As I said, till now I thought that the US were the heaven for the IT... It looks like is not so anymore....
