After completing all your studies and meeting all the requirements to gain a diploma or degree, you might still wonder whether or not your study field has a positive job outlook.\u00a0 There are a number of career areas with great potential for the growth, such as healthcare and education. However, the tech field is growing today. And if you look at the recent trends, you will see that there is a high demand in almost all sectors for technical support personnel.<\/p>\n
According to Ken Laudon<\/a><\/u> of the Stern School of Business of New York University, total employment is supposed to increase by 10% between 2010 and 2018. In fact, during this same time period, the number of jobs related to the technological field is anticipated to grow by one million.<\/p>\n Nonetheless, there are some interesting patterns occurring in the realm of IT jobs in the USA. According to the blog article \u201cSilicon Valley Spotlight\u201d<\/a><\/u> on the Indeed job site, these jobs are moving away from Silicon Valley, or hiring in this area is slowing down altogether.<\/p>\n While this might seem ironic and even unbelievable, you may not be surprised at all by the factors that contribute to this phenomenon. Some of these influences include:<\/p>\n On the other hand, salaries are still holding at six figures. For instance, according to the same blog on Indeed<\/a><\/u>, a product development engineer can make $173,570 per year. A platform engineer can expect to top out at $154,739. The lowest paying job on Indeed\u2019s list is a JavaScript developer who would make $142,185. Thus, if you find a job in another area, other than Silicone Valley, then you can make a fairly comfortable living depending on the cost of living.<\/p>\n So, how can you prepare for a career in the IT field? On the site for Purdue University<\/a><\/u>, for instance, different options are given for earning a post-baccalaureate certification, undergraduate degree (like a bachelor\u2019s of science in cybersecurity), or even a Master\u2019s degree in IT.<\/p>\n The courses that you can expect to take vary slightly from one university to the next, but here are a few from the University of Phoenix<\/a><\/u> as an example:<\/p>\n These courses cover the foundational knowledge; thus, you can also look into the classes specifically for Software Development, Networking, Coding, and Cybersecurity. They will depend on the institution itself as well as the type of job that you\u2019re seeking.<\/p>\nThe Latest Trends in IT Jobs USA<\/h2>\n
