Working In The IT Industry

By Clare Westwood


Are you an IT professional debating quitting IT? Here are ten reasons why you should consider your options thoroughly.

1. The first is simple- the money. IT workers are paid well for all their hard work.

2. Your fellow IT professionals- you spend more than a quarter of your life working so it makes sense to stay somewhere you are happy.

3. The continuity of your career. Often being away from your career can mean it is hard to find employment within your chosen industry when you return.

4. Challenges posed within IT- there will always be some areas of your IT role that will be challenging and lots of workers enjoy this challenge. Whatever your role you will face fresh and interesting challenges every day.

5. The potential rewards- it is extremely satisfying when you complete a goal such as seeing a program you designed work for the first time.

6. Job security- those working in IT have a good chance of finding and staying in work as the future of IT is limitless.

7. The skills you discover- often IT workers learn to become very analytical and technical minded.

8. Respect given by others- often people view IT workers as 'fixers' and gain a lot of respect from their not so technical colleagues.

9. The IT sector is a great way to stay aware of all the latest gadgets so if you are a technology fan it is the perfect industry for you to work in.

10. Working in IT does require a lot of enthusiasm, often people working in IT love their jobs. It is unusual for people not to stay in the industry if they are IT enthusiasts.

If you are deciding whether or not to stay within the IT industry then you will need to consider your options carefully as the industry changes constantly which means it can be hard to find a job within IT once you have been out of the industry
