I have seen BA's not getting jobs in several months. For BA too, they are asking for SQL knowledge etc. BA is jack of all , master of none kind of area. If one has developer background and transitions to BA, that person will have ease working. But again, i have seen ppl with no IT background doing BA jobs and surviving as well. Dot net and java seems to get lots of requirements. Also, QA is not hardcore i guess,  but then hight level QA is another area, where u ll need to write scripts etc..

Good LUCK.
