It's sad that IT is being outsourced but you have to adapt as times and the economy change. I used to be in the IT field but I changed to Engineering. Then, as a lowly "user" I often had to contend with IT types so obsessed with "security" that they would have completely prevented me and my teams from doing our jobs, if we hadn't just gone ahead and broken out of their image so we could function, maintain our networks and help our customers. Often I would go to consult with IT staff about a particular issue and they would be playing with Nerfball guns, surfing the web, shopping on eBay, while my team of field engineers and myself were working 70 hour weeks. You'd never even see them before 9 am in the morning and you would NEVER reach one of them at 2 or 3 am! That experience may have been unique to my job and my company, but it causes me to have less sympathy that all of those folks are no longer in those positions. Just my 2 cents.
