IT is a great career for the bright, talented and willing.
LockedNothing has changed in IT as is true in many fields. To be well compensated you must be good at what you do. The better you are, the better the pay you can expect. IT offers a lifelong challenge to those that are looking to be challenged. If one continues to learn and improve their skills they will continue to be in demand.
Even though I have been in IT for over 15 years I have continued to update my skills and in turn I am always earning more year over year. My depth of knowledge is unattainable by younger individuals as it applies to a broader ideal of technological innovation.
Technology’s roles in a business need to be well understood from many different vantage points. The more you understand about a technology and its true potential versus its hype the more value you can present in a planning environment.
IT is a part of technology as a whole. A true technologist will be in demand for many many years to come.
Frankly, those that have not done well were never able to. They are right in that they should have gone into another field in the first place.
Don’t dissuade the capable of the future.
