"High Tech: Risks and Rewards"
Excerpt from The Washington Post HIGH TECH CAREERS

By Erana Leiken

"... the high tech industry has been romanticized as part of the modern American dream. It has come to represent instant wealth, status and power in a world of rapid technological progress. Along with wealth, there are bankruptcies, mergers, takeovers, intense competition, and overnight obsolescence. These realities are all distinct possibilities for those who sign on for the adventure....In high tech, change goes with the territory. Like so many technology products, positions have a limited shelf life."
