Between my husband and I, we hear the voice of the market daily. .net and Java seem to be the high demand languages. Security is a market that is in high demand and growing.

This assumes you're going for a hard skill position. There are easier ways into IT Management. My guess is Racer and LK would agree with the notion that while there are a million coders out there and there are a million IT managers out there, the best jobs and the highest ceilings are for people who combine hard skills with leadership/decision making, especially if you add being a normal human that can hold normal conversations.

Yep. I figured out a decade ago that my value was in being a jack of all trades and being able to effectively communicate my opinion to the various teams that make up a large scale project (IT, Development, QA, Consultants, etc...)

I view Java and SQL as the ubiquitous tools that any developer needs to have at their disposal. A firm grasp on those 2 and you can likely jump into any application and figure out what's going on in a hurry.

Lot's of IT jobs with the State and the University System in GA if that is an option. I would imagine that would be true in the Carolina's too. Sometimes you have to go to the unit or campus site to find them.
