Cap I understand ESPECIALLY in the IT field. They always go for the cheapest labor and the interviewers are rarely (although it seems to be changing some) IT guys themselves and its all about whats on paper. I am currently doing sharepoint development on 2010 and getting paid 50% of what a developer in this area gets. It sucks hardcore but unless I spend rediculous amounts of money for a piece of paper that says im smart, i am stuck working entry level. Another issue I have seen is that they want degree + exp to be at the same level. I am 26 and have 8 years exp in the IT field professionally but for jobs that want 8-10 years exp, they want a masters degree. I am almost done with my BS...anywho, I think im going to try to start my own business...
