Just wondering if anyone out there, located in or around Colorado Springs, can give me a head's up as to how the IT market is doing out there right now. I know it probably isn't that great, but I am thinking the a lot of defense contractors are still hiring as the war is still on going. I'll be ex-military with clearance and experience, are there still job opportunities out that way? Any companies in particular that I should be looking into?

    When I was looking for jobs in Colorado (I live in denver) there were tons of jobs in and around colorado springs or the Denver Tech area. Depends how far you want to drive for a job. From what I saw most of the military government contract jobs were more around the tech center than actually in colorado springs.
    I forget the name of the major defense contractor that hires a ton of IT help. If I remember I'll get back with you, all I remember is it starts with an N icon_sad.gif

    Ah yes Northrup Grumman. I got offered a job there but declined. Said I need security clearance to work there if I accepted.

    Northrop normally pays for that clearance, but yeah you have to pass it :)
