'Nerdy' Jobs Pay More, Offer More Job Security, Report Finds

Jobs in engineering and computer technology have long had the stigma of being "nerdy" professions -- boring, and not particularly high-paying either.

Now geek jobs are considered "cool" -- in large part because there are plenty of openings -- plenty of well-paying openings.
