10 recession-proof skills
This isn't part of Jim Bruce's ITLP Tuesday Readings, but I thought this topic fit best here, rather than on my main blog.
A recent article in CIO Magazine points to the top 10 "recession proof" skills in IT. These skills speak to the "enterprise" nature of what we do in the CIC, and at the University of Minnesota:
- Virtualization
- Services management
- Unified computing
- Green IT
- Resource management
- Engineering
- Network
- Financial analysis
- Project management
- Communications
How do your skills compare?
Note that these 10 skills cross a lot of boundaries. The point of the article isn't that you need to have all these skills, rather that having any of these skills is a good hedge against future IT trends.
