In many parts of the country we find that people with computer certifications are more plentiful than in other parts of the country. Recently when I was doing a study of this demographic and looking at the data from a computer magazine I noticed that many people who lived in Florida and along the Gulf Coast had more computer certifications per individual than in other parts of the country.

In many parts the country there are severe shortages of people with computer certifications, while in other parts the country this is not as big a problem for large corporations. When studying this issue I determined that one of the problems was that in big cities like Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, the Bay area, Maryland, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Atlanta, and the D.C. area that shortages of people with computer certifications was a huge issue. While in Florida and along the Gulf Coast there were more people who had more certifications, than expected.

Perhaps this is because during hurricanes there is not a lot that people can do so they study for their computer certifications and this is a very good way to stack up computer certifications for someone wishing to have more of them. The more certifications you have the better chances you’ll have been getting the perfect job that you desire in the computer industry.

There is currently a shortage of IT people and a larger shortage is expected in the coming years. Please consider this in 2006 and study your butt off next time there is a hurricane that you are waiting to pass you.
