Well, at least there'll still be jobs in  IT security- an area a lot of us 
are interested in.  Though classes in "network security" seem to be popping up 
everywhere a degree from a university ought to still offer you a better 
foot-in-the-door.  'Course nothing stands up like on the job experience. Go after 
those internships!

I thought this article was well written and provides a good example of 
outsourcing not always being a good - let alone the best - option.
