Choosing a tech career
You discussed career paths with your parents, friends, or teachers, and they all told you to choose a tech career. You’ve searched for careers online and all you saw was tech. That’s all everybody ever talks about now! You are probably wondering “So what is in tech that the world is raving about?” In this article, you would understand what a career in tech is and why everybody around you thinks it is a good idea.
Did you grow up watching Television? Do you have a mobile phone or a laptop? These are products of technology, but they fall under the communication aspect of technology.
Technology is simply the product of transferring scientific knowledge into practical use. Through technology, you have mobile apps, games, software (Microsoft), solar panels, etc. Tech has permeated its way in every sphere of our lives. It’s in our phones, in our classes, and even in our PLAYGROUNDS!!
Here are some reasons why you should be a part of the tech movement.
YOU ARE NEEDED
The Covid-19 period made technology an enabler for individuals, businesses, and communities.
This led to an increase in demand for tech roles. A few examples of in-demand tech roles are data analysis, data broker, web development, AI etc.
There are many tech roles but there are not enough people to fill them. The number of job postings for technical positions increased from 3,830,000 in February to 4,120,000 in March 2022 in the USA. So, you see, there are unlimited opportunities for people aspiring to be in the tech industry like you.
THE FUTURE OF TECH IS BRIGHT
Tech is here to stay. New and relevant trends come up every day in the tech industry. Imagine a world without any form of technology. No phones, No apps, No GPS, Nothing!! Life would be crazy.
Do you know those typical ‘traditional’ careers that were always recommended for us in the past? Yeah, those (they are probably coming to mind right now). In the coming years, many of these careers would be replaced by automation which is also a product of tech.
If you’re looking for a secure career for the present and the future, consider one or more of the many tech roles available.
THERE IS A PLACE FOR EVERYBODY IN TECH
Are you a creative person and you have a passion for writing or anything not so tech-inclined you are probably worried that you might lose your passion in all this tech talk. I am delighted to tell you that a tech career opens a platform that accommodates your passions.
Tech is so into our daily life that it has found its way even into the things we love doing. So, if you love beauty and cosmetics, there is tech in the beauty industry!!
TECH MIGHT BE THE NEW GOLD
Lastly, while money may not be the ultimate requirement for choosing a career, it is a bonus for those in the tech industry. Tech roles are one of the most lucrative careers.
There is a demand for people to fill in these roles. With these demands comes huge salaries. Many tech roles’ salaries are promising and usually range from $100-200,000 monthly. This, however, depends on the technical roles you take up and the level at which you are in your career.
Not only do Tech careers pay more than the average, but they also give workers more schedule flexibility and access to excellent benefit packages. As said earlier, the benefits of teens getting involved in tech are undeniable.
Technology has become an integral part of our society, and acquiring relevant skills early on equips teenagers to remain relevant while securing a thriving future. Parents, educators, and society as a whole need to support and encourage teens to explore the vast possibilities that technology offers.
