So if you’re considering a future in IT, but you’re still on the fence, let me point out some of the pros of the field. For one thing, the jobs are certainly in demand. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment in computer and information technology occupations is projected to grow 11% from 2019 to 2029, meaning there should be about 531,200 new IT jobs. Nowadays, job security is increasingly difficult to find, so if you want to know that you’ll always be in demand, information technology might just be the path for you.
There is also very strong earning potential in the IT sector. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the 2020 median annual income across all computer and information information technology jobs was $91,250. That’s over $20,000 more than the national average income in the US for 2020, but depending on the specific job, IT professionals can make much more. For example, software developers made an average salary of over $110,000 in 2020, and computer network architects earned an average of over $116,000. Not too shabby.
