 I am a tech support in a small company. I wonder if I keep working hard what
my future could be?

 I don't know how you ended up posting this in a server security newsgroup
but here is my two cents. That is hard to determine for about any career
these days. Real Estate used to be considered a decent job but where I live
everyone is doing for sale "By Owner" these days. Health care is suppose to
be good but now they are talking about having your MRI or cat scan reviewed
by doctors in India over the internet. I go to the supermarket and I can
check myself out! Jobs that require hands on like mechanics, brick layers,
plumbers, dentists, and surgeons are probably safer at least until robotics
advances much further. I would suggest that you try to keep up with all the
latest trends and technology such as wireless and remote access to expand
your horizons and get a college degree if you don't have one as may good
jobs require one even if it is not in the field for the job. Be the guy that
suggests new stuff to your employer that can save money [huge plus] and
increase security and be they guy that can deploy it. Good luck! --- Steve

I just come back from MS ED. Do you really think purchasing new software
could save money? I work for a school.

Wrong newsgroup for the question . . .

I would say that if you are doing the same thing this year as last,
next year as this, then you are in the wrong career path. In IT
tech if you are not continuously doing new things, expanding the
skills, progressing with the industry, then it will not be long at all
until you are replaced or useless. On the other hand, having a
progression of abilities does not mean you will succeed, only
that you might.

I believe that there will always be work in IT tech, but that this
will continue to need higher and higher skills and abilities, as
the tools make it possible for each person to handle more
and more systems in the same time

I agree with Roger.

Working hard isn't going to guarantee anything. Working smart probably will.
