Do you guys like your jobs?

I posted a while back asking about Cisco certs.

I have a degree in EE, was a stay-at-home dad for the past 10 years,
and I'm looking to get back to work.  I thought I would ****ft gears
and look into IT.

Looking at the jobs at Monster.com, many of the Network Engineer
positions aren't what I thought they would be.  I thought a Network
Engineer was on par with a EE or ME, but many of the positions require
only a high school education.

So I don't know which way to go.  I love computers, learned to code as
a kid, networking "black magic" fascinates me.

Is there a specific area of IT I should focus on given my background?

What kind of salary should I expect?
