Great article!

Great article, I am new to the forum and am enjoying the vast amount of information that I am picking up. I am interested in networking/computer science as a career in the future so I am trying to get ahead of my age group.

I just tried to view the article that Jeff posted but the link is now leading to a now-gone article. Was it posted anywhere else I could take a look?

Security Manager's Journal

My decision to stay in my current job for quality-of-life reasons
provoked emotional responses from several readers. Some of those who
wrote to me about that column [QuickLink 57182 [1]] had made similar
decisions. But a few, after reading about how I turned down multiple
job offers, asked, "Where are all these jobs you keep talking about?"
I felt compelled to do a little research on the information security
job market and present the results here.

I took a sentence from a portion of the article copy/pasted by DT, and performed a quoted search on google for: "My decision to stay in my current job for quality-of-life reasons provoked emotional responses from several readers." which found a page from computerworld:
