Like a database/IT administrator, hardware salesman, technician, support specialist, etc.. Basically I was told that a suit when going to such an interview/position would be a joke, even that people would make fun of me. I think it's total BS, but then again, I have no experience or knowledge about this, I haven't had a job interview yet.

I am a college student that hasn't declared a major yet. I am interested in working in the computer field however I don't want to go into something that will be shipped to India within a few years. I've heard that there are still some jobs in computers that are hard or impossible to outsource. Is there any jobs that involve computers but are more secure to outsourcing?

I only have a high school diploma. Working right now on my degree in Computer Science. I really want a desk job of some kind but not doing phones all day. I can take phone calls but not all day. I'm just so ready to be done with warehouse jobs and into something that has more growth potential. What do I need to do in order to get out from doing warehouse jobs and into getting a white collar job? I wouldn't mind working for a law firm doing entry level work for example.
