If you're looking for an IT job that won't likely be subject to cutbacks anytime soon, I have a suggestion. Go work at Microsoft. In the group that writes their security bulletins and advisories. That's gotta be a pretty secure job nowadays, huh?

Doesnt sound so secure now , eh?
Oxymorons...
Job security (in the IT field) is like..
Corporate ethics,
family planning,
Military Intelligence,
Oil and Vinegar..
somethings just never mix well..
Here was me hoping you'd found something for me :p
I think it would be quite a lot of work. Any other IT secure jobs with less work?
As for the redhat comment, these are bug fixes. Not massive, easily exploitable, linger-forever, been around for months, virus-infecting holes.
Job security (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Job_security) depends on our competitive advantage, technology, financial markets, taxes, trade agreements, productivity and efficiency with which we produce things. Today we are in a state where our competitive advantage is eroding because of globalization and internet, and so is our job security. Job Brodkin's article also discusses this. http://www.networkworld.com/newsletters/edu/2008/033108ed1.html
