Really, technology needs more people in technology. I've seen loads of mates who moved away from IT as they were sick of all the mergers and acquisitions. Some went to school, some went to adjacent industries and some even went into totally different industries. But indeed a lof of them are retiring. 2010-2015 is supposed to spell a sort of "Hiring ciris" across the developed countries.

Instead, look at virtualisation — of servers, desktops or storage — in terms of how it lets you respond faster to changes in what users need. That's where business advantage comes from, but it won't come easily, so get started. By 2010, when users need results, you'll be able to deliver them while the business opportunity is still hot.
