Why ICT?
1. It’s a growing career field
Most students are nervous about finding a job after graduation. While nothing is guaranteed when it comes to the job market, employment in the IT field does appear to be on a strong trajectory.
2. IT pros can work in nearly any industry
Not only is there a growing demand for IT professionals, but they also have the luxury of being able to work in nearly any industry. Technology powers businesses of all types, meaning that there’s a tech position waiting for you in fields as different as retail, finance, manufacturing, and education.
3. Several IT careers have high earning potential
First things first: You don’t want to choose a field of study based entirely on your potential salary. If IT careers have already captured your interest; however, it’s certainly a bonus to know that there’s plenty of earning potential there.
4. It’s an innovative career field
The tech field is constantly growing and changing. It needs employees who are excited to be on the cutting edge of innovation as it continues to evolve. If you’re easily bored with the status quo and constantly imagining ways things could be better or more efficient, you’d probably be a good fit for an IT career.
5. The work is rewarding
Surprised to see this on the list? Don’t be! Technology makes a big difference in entire industries as well as in the lives of individual people around the world. It can be rewarding to know that your everyday work is having a positive effect on others and contributing to the growing network of technology we all rely on.
6. Curiosity is celebrated
Not all career fields welcome employees who think outside the box. Lucky for you, IT isn’t one of them! Your natural sense of curiosity will be rewarded in the tech world, where you can use your drive for learning to help develop innovative new ideas.
7. The job is never boring
Many of the tech pros we spoke with shared that the variety in their workdays is one of the best parts of the job. While the details will depend on the specific type of IT role you pursue, every day has the potential to come up with new problems to solve, ideas to brainstorm, and tools to put to use. This variety of work can help keep your days feeling fresh.
8. You can get started with flexible education options
Unlike many other professions, the path to getting started or advancing in the IT field can be pretty flexible depending on your goals, career needs, and existing education levels.
