IT can be a good choice for self employment

Apparently the younger generation is shunning IT (Information Technology - computers and such). Yet the demand for people is growing constantly, which can make for a nice living for a self employed IT person.

One of the other nice things about IT is that you can pick a specialty or two and dive in. Your education doesn't particularly matter; things change so fast in this world that anything you learned ten years ago has close to zero value today.

However, you have to be careful that you don't get stuck in an area that gets superseded by newer technology. What's complex and highly paid today can be in simple firmware tomorrow, putting you out of work. In that respect, IT can be very challenging. You can't be lazy and just stay with what you know; this is a job that requires constant growth.
