IT seems that most Americans are getting lured into taking up Information Technology short courses, hoping to land in a sector the offers the highest paychecks.
Recent studies apparently show the Information Technology as the sector where American families, who have been adversely affected by the recession would, be able to get back on track by landing a job in the IT sector. The Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) recently released the result of their study which says IT would soon be offering what any other sector did --- “hot jobs” offering impressive remuneration.
IT sector, which has been growing at a rapid pace for the last two decades, is noted for its salary standards to its personnel.
Recalling Overseas Investment
The IT sector in the United States is taking radical steps to help the US economy. The steps being considered however appears to take toll on Asian countries like the Philippines.
Part of those “radical steps” is to pull out their investments in India and the Philippines, where they have been outsourcing entry jobs. The IT industry was earlier reported to be seriously considering a halt in outsourcing IT jobs offshore. Outsourcing data entry jobs costs the IT sector less with the cheap labor cost abroad.
Outsourcing IT’s technical support and programming to Asia (India and the Philippines) where there is a rich availability of cheaper skilled labor, is also being seriously considered as among those which they intend to keep just for the American people.
The Next Ten Years
Confidence in the IT sector remains remarkable within the next 10 years. In fact, a 10-year business program has been drafted that would create highly-skilled portfolios focusing on business processing, as well as direct clientele servicing.
So it would soon be American call center agents selling to fellow Americans, not just American accents at the other end of the line.
Economic analysts in the US have been consistently projecting the IT sector’s growth despite the economic meltdown. True enough though, the recession slowed down the IT sector’s growth, but has already been picking up business operations as early as October this year.
DLC said that the IT sector will soon be offering the “highest paying jobs in 25 years”, and grow by an amazing 26 percent in ten years.
No IT Degrees
The salary of a medium level employee of an IT firm stands twice as much as medium level office employee. Interestingly, some 66 percent of the people working in the IT sector don’t even have IT degrees.
Data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, revealed that 70% of the employees working for an IT entity are degree holders, but unrelated to the IT, itself. The remaining 30 percent represents the IT professionals who have completed IT-related courses --- online.
The reason for that is simple ---because IT is a relatively new industry. It wasn’t even around 25 years ago. It only shows that regardless of educational attainment, people excel in the IT industry because of sheer motivation brought about by the healthier paychecks.
IT sector’s growth seemed unstoppable, compelling Americans to take a different career path, a path that would not just lead them to recovery but to the direction of stability. GP
