In some ways, it seems like everybody needs to be ready for a career in IT! In the 90s and early 2000s, it seems that there was a push for people to develop themselves cross-culturally in order to function in a more global environment, through things like cultural training or foreign language classes. I feel like this wave of IT growth could result in a similar change in social consciousness. Having a basis in programming could soon be as valuable as having knowledge of a foreign language. I wish there had been more positive light shed on the field as I was deciding what to study, because I definitely would have given computer science and systems engineering more consideration.
ReplyDeleteI work at bed bath and beyond and are systems are very old. It's a debt free company so they do not want to spend the money to update it. But I will say that I have found enjoyment out of learning the system and it makes me want to explore other ones. A job in IT may not be so bad.
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine develops apps for Apple products, and has made a large amount of money. It is definitely a lucrative profession, and one with a high amount of job security (for the time being). Would it be possible that increased automation in IT and application writing could result in a job shortage at any time in the future?
