Lesson Two
A degree in Computing Science will expose you to all facets of IT. After completing a degree, you would have identified your key strengths, passions, and areas of interest you would like to pursue in IT. If you would prefer not to go to university, working as an intern and completing IT certifications with a reputable IT company is also an option. You can always decide to study later following this experience.
It’s important to align your passions with your strengths in IT.
You can pursue specialised certifications, but this should be done hand-in-hand with work experience in order to master the necessary skills and to solidify your understanding. Generally, individuals who pursue certifications straight after leaving school will follow a career as a Desktop Support Technician, IT Manager or even business owner.
Computer Science graduates are in huge demand so if you are serious about a career in IT, I would recommend a degree first.
Skills to watch for over the next 5-10 years include:
Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning, Block chain Technology, Programming, App Development, Mechatronics, Cyber Security, Data Science / Analysis, Data Warehousing and Data Mining and more to come!
Certifications will increase in popularity, but degrees will still be in high demand.
Which I.T. skillset is growing in demand for the future?
