So, that's it. A simple chat about IT market!

I'm a system developer, and i'm working on an American company (DuPont), in a brazilian plant ... here we have a lot of system programmers, IT personel, DBA, developers...

I'm curious about the opportunities in other countries, and i want to know how the market works in these countries (Like European Countries, or Australia, China, Russia, Mexico, Japan, etc)!

I'm inviting you to talk about your country, how to get a job, what type of jobs can be found there, how much the companies pay per hour (or month) of work, etc.

And I can start talking about Brazil. Here the market is growing up, but not much fast.
A lot of universities are teaching courses about IT and Software development, here we call "Technical Courses". These courses promisses to form a system engeneer, programmer, analyst and database administrator in 2 years. But in fact, the course do not teach well, or the major people just join the course because believe that will give a lot of money in the future, pure illusion.

The best professionals earn a cool money, but the fair professionals don't.

Here, a hour of a Specilist in VB6 earn about R$ 20,00 (Brazilian Money), equivalent to US$ 8,00. In .NET the value is a bit great: US$ 10,00. A Database administrator earn about US$ 9,00. This values can be different, depending the company.

If i remember a new info, i'll post soon.
Bye!
