Jobs in IT? |
i have an interest in System development, maintenance and networking. something along the lines of being an IT support person. is any one in this job field? Yep...been doing work in that line for about 4 years now. I'm 23 btw. Don't let the two people above put you off. Try and avoid the 'helpdesk' type work. You'll just find yourself chained to a phone answering the same stupid questions again and again. (repeat ad infinium!) Its boring and you won't learn anything. Pay depends where you work. I changed jobs about 6 months ago and when looking, some places tried to low-ball me, but you just walk away from those. Ask for a fair wage and you will get it or they're companies that you don't want to work for anyway. I'm the sole IT member for a company of about 50 people. So far I have been working on some interesting projects, including a new e-mail system, building an intranet and coding some line-of-business applications. I deal with the day-to-day stuff too. It helps to keep up to date in your field, and the more skillsets you have the better. It opens up your options. It has to be something that you are actually interested in though. There will be times when you need to do a lot of reading up on a subject to properly understand it, and be willing to experiment with things in your own time. But if it is something you enjoy, then it's great to be doing something you enjoy for a living. Boyfriend has been, says the pay is crap- too many people are doing it. that is a job not a very good one though i don't know but other options may be web designer it teacher IT support MANAGER i don't know where you are from but this link may be useful Specialises in IT recruitment matching service for IT recruiters and IT job seekers via the Internet.www.cwjobs.co.uk Don't be put off by previous comments. I have 20+ years experience in IT for a large financial corporation and the attrition rate is low as the pay is pretty good (in this area anyway)! However, as with most jobs, you should expect to start on a relatively low salary (if you lack experience) until you gain experience that employers are willing to pay you more for. I started in systems development, have done maintenance and now manage IT projects. There is a whole department of network specialists and 'support' teams. As your experience grows, you'll find what interests you and if you work for a good company, there should be opportunities to pursue your preferred line of work. Good luck ! work in IT |
