Benefits of Having a Career in IT

If you’re truly a beginner in the IT world and have no idea what it means or why you should consider a career in the field, you’ve come to the right place. IT is short for Information Technology. It’s very broad and can be broken down into many individual fields. The whole of information technology has to do with processing and managing information within a large company.

When people think of IT, they generally assume that it’s all about the internet and computers. While they would be right in a sense, it’s actually much broader than that. IT deals with anything from the physical mechanics of a computer, to databases, to telecommunication, to phones. It’s all technology and communications based, but the actual work of an IT goes much deeper than knowing how to clean a virus off of a computer or knowing how to set up an application.

Why should you consider a career in IT? Here’s why:

It’s Lucrative

The various jobs in IT will have different requirement and pay grades, but if you get connected in the right branch, you could be making some really great money. Careers vary from an architect, to a trainer, to a specialist, to a manager, to a supervisor, to a director. The higher you climb the ladder, the more you get paid, obviously.

As a consultant the paygrade can begin at upwards of $76,000 dollars a year. As an administrator, you begin around at around $60,000. If you work your way up to a Senior Software Engineer, you could almost be making $100,000 dollars. If you have a knack for technology and want to make good money, this Information Technology is the place to look.

You’re Designing the Future

If there was ever a job that held power that isn’t the President of the United States, it would be IT. People who work in information technology are literally designing the future of the world. Everything is about technology and seeing how far the world can go with it. When you’re the one designing it you have all of the power in your hands. You could literally be the next Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg.

You’re in High Demand

For how quickly the world is developing, there aren’t enough people in the information technology field. The ones who are working are in high demand and have a monopoly on the market. If you get yourself into the world of IT, you will be in high demand and you can be one of high rollers creating innovative technology that changes the world and gives you loads of money.

It’s not an easy job, but if you like technology, like a challenge and want to create the future of the world, IT is the only job for you. You can be dangerous, you can make a difference, and you can create the new social media network that will take over the world. It’s your choice, but IT is career with endless benefits and potential that extends the breadth of space itself.
