A good percentage of the people I hear from and work with have technology backgrounds - including degrees in information technology of one kind or another. Here's an interesting survey being done this week by the innovative people over at TechRepublic for all of you who have pursued technology as an academic endeavor (and for managers and recruiters who hire people for IT positions!) The anonymous results will be the basis for a special report on IT/IS undergrad programs and will include the importance of that piece of paper vs. hands-on work experience.
(HINT: All of you who were at my presentation yesterday in Chicago should be interested in this!)
