I received an amazing
amount of info from my reading & I wanted to express similar sentiments.
But that leaves out a huge swath of people: those who desperately want a career
in IT, as well as those who are caught somewhere in Limbo, trying to answer
questions regarding their ability to remain in their chosen field.
So I thought I would go
about this topic from another angle to help those people decide whether they're
made up of the stuff necessary for a career in IT. I'm fairly confident
everyone agrees it's a tough field. What everyone may not agree on is what it
takes to be a successful IT worker
Let's see if this list of 6
things fits your qualifications. With all those qualities intact, you are sure to enjoy a long,
successful career in the IT field.
This one should go without saying — but I must
mention it.
Persistence
The IT industry is an
ever-changing landscape, and every day a new problem makes itself known.
Patience
Users and clients are
endlessly frustrating. If you have little or no patience, those people will
quickly drive you out of the field. And if they don't completely drive you
away, they will at least drive away your joy for the human race. Without
patience, you won't stand a chance in the IT field. But it's not only because of
the people. Systems will test your patience as well.
Connections
This might seem a bit
strange, but as a member of the IT field (especially if you're looking for
career growth), you have to have many profession connections. This means social
networking
The desire to learn
As I mentioned earlier, IT is an ever-changing
industry. The minute a technology is released, it is out of date. So anyone
wanting to tackle a career in IT must have a strong desire to learn.
Be Passionate
If you are passionate, you will
feel the need for excelling at your work
