Anyone contemplating entering the Information Technology workplace, and even those already there, will benefit from this thoughtfully considered and beautifully organized guidebook that addresses every relevant topic, including a frank discussion of outsourcing and its impact on the IT job market. Enthusiastically recommended. Dennis Green, Director Information Technology programs Columbia University - School of Continuing Education Ian Fisher's new book is an indispensable compass for those beginning their career journey into the largely-uncharted information technology field. Like the best maps and field guides, it provides a complete and clear exploration of the varied and often confusing IT terrain--from identifying the personal skills prerequisite for different IT career paths to navigating the myriad IT educational and training options and ultimately arriving successfully at that first position. Don't leave 'home' without it! Dr. Richard Vigilante, Executive Director Jesuit Distance Education Network New York, NY Very few people consciously select their careers. Most start a profession without really understanding the associated field, responsibilities, compensation, and sacrifices; this is especially true in the volatile Information Technology industry. Ian Fisher's excellent How to Start a Career in Information Technology, provides step-by-step guidance on making that choice, from exploring the basic question of Is a career in Information Technology right for me? to presenting suggestions on how to find one's first IT position. It comes highly recommended.

This book is an easy read and the ideas can be readily implemented Dr. Lois Blades-Rosado, Executive Director State University of New York-Brooklyn Educational Opportunity Center Brooklyn, NY This book written on the field of Information Technology, is one of the best resources of its kind on this field of work. Mr. Fisher has concentrated on this one career area in a very thorough fashion.
