Why a career in technology?
The days of working in one industry in one role have passed. Statistically the typical worker changes their job around 12 times before they retire. This should be reassuring news if you’re contemplating a new career. If you’re looking to get into IT, you may be surprised at why people love it. Here are our top seven reasons to work in IT.
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.
The most impactful IT workers are also often the most creative. Every day in IT, you’ll need to come up with innovative solutions to complex problems. And you often won’t arrive at those solutions through linear thinking alone. Creativity is the secret sauce that will help you meet your goals on a day-to-day basis.
3. A big part of your job will involve helping people.
Whether you’re helping people solve their daily technology problems or developing technology behind the scenes, a big part of your career will involve making other people’s lives simpler with your specialized knowledge.

Your ability to problem solve and innovate will help them do their jobs better and help your organization to succeed.
4. There’s no shortage of IT jobs.

5. IT pays well.
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.
6. You’ll always be challenged.
The IT realm is constantly in flux in terms of innovation. As an IT professional, you’ll be expected to keep up with industry changes and new technology, which means there will never be a dull moment in your career. If you love learning and are up for a challenge, an IT job may be right up your alley.
7. A variety of industries need people with your skills.
The sky’s the limit when it comes to where you’ll be able to find employment, and your opportunities won’t be limited to the corporate world. Nonprofits, health care organizations and universities all need smart people to join their IT teams.
