The hottest thig in government IT is Cyber Security since 9/11. Every agency can use good computer people who can do it all. Life is proving everday what you do know and can produce and deliver whether you are contractor or govt. Make sure you have good PM skills for the higher paying jobs.

Don't let the Federal IT world fool you. Most IT programming jobs are contracted out, so all the jazz about knowing Java, VB, ASP, SQL, XML, yada yada, is not as in depth as the private sector. The Government knows that true programming is best done by business that specialize in just that, so they stick to merely implementing the software, ensuring security, and maintenance. M2C
