1. You don’t have to be a math whiz.
Contrary to popular belief, dedication and soft skills go a long way in making IT professionals successful. While technical skills are important, they can be learned more easily than a strong work ethic, a natural curiosity and the ability to work well with others. A person with dedication and motivation will take the initiative to learn hardware, cybersecurity, coding or whatever the technical skill may be that will help them move ahead. Millions of individuals working in tech have non-technical backgrounds, it’s not just a skills gap, but a confidence gap, that’s affecting the IT workforce.
2. You’ll get to show off your creative side.

This is one of the major draws for many people who transition to careers in IT. Research available shows the average salary for an IT role is over £45K. As with any profession, there’s a wide range of salaries dependent on numerous factors, but it shows there’s ample opportunity for advancement in terms of both responsibility and salary.
