The Internet created demand for many new jobs. As it grows, the need for trained
professionals will continue to rise as well. There are three areas in
particular that will be (and are!) in enormous demand despite the temporary slum in the economy:

Web Design and Development
The Internet offers incredible diversity of information. After all, finding the information easily and being able to deliver up-to-date information are two of the greatest strengths of the Internet. The Internet became a new media (just like TV was over 50 years ago) that will never disappear from our lives despite some skeptics' opinion.
Many of the "dot-com" companies that are disappearing all seem to have a common theme: poor business models. The market continues to reward strong Internet services-related companies that have positive cash flow, strong management, and a business strategy that makes sense and is executable.
From the Article "The commons of the tragedy: How the Internet was used by millions after the terror attacks...":
...As e-newsletter writer David Weinberger wrote on September 27: "Now, for the first time, the nation and the world could talk with itself, doing what humans do when the innocent suffer: cry, comfort, inform, and, most important, tell the story together." Could it be possible without the Internet?
The demand for qualified engineers is high and will grow more in coming years. The growing demand for professionals who can design, implement, and maintain the informational and commercial web sites is proportional to a growing demand for high-quality Internet services. Obviously, the qualification requirements are growing too, reflecting the need for a broad set of Internet-related job skills, knowledge of various tools, and specifics of business.
Computer Networking
LANs have become popular because they allow users to share vital computing resources electronically, including expensive hardware such as printers and CD-ROM drives, application programs and, most importantly, the information the users need to do their jobs.
Todays LANs and LAN internetworks are powerful, flexible, and easy to use, but they incorporate many sophisticated technologies and services that must work together flawlessly.
The rapid spread of networking technology combined with the ever-increasing complexity of new networking challenges has produced tremendous career opportunities for people with the skills needed to deploy, maintain, and update organizations' networking resources.
Because the field of Information Technology changes constantly as new technologies emerge in operating systems, computer applications, networking and communications, database systems, and the Internet, the need for such people has boomed in the past ten years, and now exists in virtually every segment of business, education, and government.
Information Security
Security analysts protect the integrity of an organization's data, applications, servers and configurations that provide access to the network and computers. The need for heightened security is leading to new technology, such as smart cards, PKI (public key infrastructure), biometrics and digital signatures. And information security will only become more important.
This essential need for security in IT is undisputed. IDC predicted that the worldwide market for information security services would increase from $5.5 billion to $17.2 billion by the end of 2004.
