<\/figure>\n\n\n\nOne of the biggest perks when working in IT is undoubtedly the pay. It comes as no shock that IT specialists are one of the highest paid professionals in the world. Think of the richest people in the world today, Mark Zuckerberg (founder of Facebook), Reed Hastings(CEO of Netflix), and Larry Page (Co-CEO of Google) all share one thing in common, and that\u2019s a background in Information Technology. This is of course not a coincidence. To the unassuming eye there may seem to be a disconnect between starting up in IT and then landing yourself as the CEO of an organisation but that is not true!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Unlimited career pathways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As we\u2019ve just covered, the biggest players in the industry today all seem to have a background in IT or more specifically, computer science. In the past CEO\u2019s were most likely those who had a background in business, economics or even accounting but that is not the case as of late. This is probably because of the nature of these big corporations in our world today. They\u2019re all tech moguls. And when the business itself deals with technology it makes more sense to appoint someone with a strong background in it. This is why the career pathway for an IT graduate is almost limitless. You could start off as a programmer or software developer and work your way up the corporate ladder. You are quite unlikely to start and end at the same spot in your career. Choosing a specialization would definitely help set you apart from other IT graduates and give you an edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. It\u2019s not just math and numbers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Contrary to popular belief, it\u2019s not all about the numbers. Don\u2019t get us wrong you would definitely have to have some mathematical skills but it\u2019s not the be all and end all. We assure you that you do not need to be a math whiz solving logarithms in your sleep to pursue this line. Analytical and problem solving skills are also very much valued and sought after in the field of IT. You would need these skills to complement the mathematical aspect of it all to be truly good at what you do when it comes to IT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4.
