Information technology is a
growing field that offers relatively secure positions for those with
solid technical skills and at least a bachelor's degree in an IT-related
field. From support to engineering, there are several specializations
that deal with the various facets of information technology.
The field of information technology (IT) covers the design,
administration and support of computer and telecommunications systems.
Some of the positions in this field include database and network
administrators, computer support specialists, computer scientists,
software programmers and system analysts. The majority of career tracks
in IT entail design and operational tasks related to computer hardware
components, networks and software applications.
Professionals in the IT field work with businesses and organizations
to set up and support viable computer networks that will keep systems
efficient and reliable. IT encompasses all hardware and software used in
the storing, creation and accessing of information. Examples of
technologies that professionals work with are firewalls, databases,
media storage devices, networks and the Internet.
Aspiring IT professionals typically need a bachelor's degree in a
technology field, such as computer science, information systems
management, programming or networking. Even without a degree, experience
in an entry-level help desk position could help IT professionals
advance with professional certification or vocational training. The
fundamentals of a degree program generally include computer hardware,
programming, networking, and technical theory. Depending on the major,
students could also learn IT management, website development, computer
circuitry, systems analysis and database management. Some programs also
include internship opportunities. To work as a computer research
scientist, a Ph.D. degree is often necessary.
