Information Technology(IT)Career Path

Information Technology (IT) continues to change our way of living, playing, and doing business, so it should come as no surprise that computing and IT is the fastest-growing career field and will continue to be in the future.

The dominance of the IT job market is due to numerous factors, including rapid Internet and e-commerce growth, lower hardware prices that enable more businesses to upgrade their technology.

Your first move in building a career is to understand the current IT career landscape; here are some of the most sought-after IT career paths based on earning power, growth potential, job outlook and excitement.

In-Demand IT Careers:

1) Mobile Developer
What do they do?
The people who build applications for businesses are mobile developers. If you've ever used a device from Android or iOS, you've interacted directly with the work of a mobile developer. Other mobile development platforms such as Windows phone are available. But most people are most likely talking about an Android or iOS app when they say "Web App."

How do I get started?
This depends on whether you're going to focus on iOS or Android. It is adviceable to learn Android. Java is likely a more valuable language to learn than Swift and Objective-C and the fact that 75% of the world is using Android against 21% using iOS.

2. Database Administrator
Database administrators ensure that business data is accurate, available and secure.

Database administrators can continue to learn and advance their career by getting certified in one or more database management systems (DBMS); in-demand DBMS include Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB2 & MySQL.

3. Web Developer
Web developers build the web pages and web-based applications that comprise the Internet.

Successful web developers are fluent in the programming languages that fuel the World Wide Web. All web developers need a command of HTML, Javascript & CSS. It's also helpful to know a server-side programming language, such as PHP, Microsoft .Net Visual Basic, or Java to develop more complex applications.

4. Help Desk Technician ; a.k.a. Desktop Support Technician | Technical Support Specialist | Computer Support Engineer | IT Support Specialist | Field Service Technician | Desktop Support Analyst.

Help Desk Technicians provide technical support for IT end-users.
Many IT pros begin their career as help desk technicians because of the low experience and education requirements, then as they're exposed to new IT disciplines and technologies they discover their niche and branch out into other IT careers, such as network administrator, DBA or IT security specialist.

5. Software Engineer
Software engineers design, develop and improve upon the computer programs we use every day, including business apps, operating systems, network control systems and social networks. Software engineers can be divided into two main classifications: Applications Software Engineers and Systems Software Engineers.

Applications software engineers analyze an end-user's needs and develop a custom program to meet those needs. They use a range of programming languages depending on the application's parameters and the platform on which the program runs. Modern languages used by applications software engineers include Java, C, C++, PHP, Objective-C, Perl and Python. Mobile app developers are specialized applications software engineers who create apps for smartphones and tablets.

Systems software engineers coordinate the creation, maintenance and expansion of an organization's internal computer systems. Systems software engineers may also be responsible for developing a company's intranet and ensuring system security.

6. Cloud Engineer
Cloud engineers plan, develop and support organizations' rapidly growing cache of cloud computing(the on-demand, pay-as-you-go distribution of IT resources over the Internet. ) solutions.

7. Data Scientist
Data Scientists analyze business data for actionable intelligence.

Data scientists mine and analyze data from a range of sources, including customer transactions, click streams, sensors, social media, log files and GPS plots. Their mission is to unlock valuable and predictive insights that will influence business decisions and spur a competitive advantage.

You will also find opportunities with employers in many different sectors, including food and beverage manufacturing, energy and science, education and safety.
