There are bubbles of career interest in the various parts of the computer/networking/IT world. The same kind of bubbles that affect the real estate and other parts of the economy...

Admin is OUT right now, in favor of cloud-based infrastructures, and being able to operate hundreds to thousands of systems using various kinds of automation.

Programmers are IN right now, especially "rock stars" and "gurus" who are heavily sought-after by startups in Silicon Valley.

But after a few years this could reverse again, because the sector is prone to reversing on a dime and leaving scores of really talented people out of work.

*ahem*
