I believe it is better to be an IT professional. Reason why I say that is that you can be flexible,if you know your stuff,you can open a training school if you wish to, or if you indeed want to become a trainer, you can always do that. Besides it can be an extra source of income, I know two guys who are technical Architects and what they do on saturday is run their own training centres. In that way you could get more money if youwant to.

Not all these IT training centres offer good courses, some them just teach how to use basic MS applications like Word, Excel, Powerpoint etc. Which is not very usefulfor people who have degrees in ITwho are looking for specific areas to be trained on. Some of these training centres extort money from people by deceiving people, some are worth it, ie Microsoft certified training centres. But the money they charge is just too much.

Depending on what you want, I 'd rather be an IT profession than a recruiter, not saying that the latter is bad, but that is my choice.
