One of the world’s fastest growing field of engineering is Information Technology. And it won’t be wrong to say that without IT today’s life won’t simply be possible.
In today’s world each and every field which is directly or indirectly connected to Information Technology. And the importance of IT is growing as each day passes by.
World’s most top brands, companies, peoples/celebrities, and billionaires etc are from the field of IT.
Gaining Ground:
IT is so much gaining ground as compared to other fields that in near future every single aspect of life will be depending on it because,
One: the product which it produces or develop are mostly for the common man and help to ease up his/her communication, information and lifestyle etc.
Second: it is not just bounded by degrees, help, guidance, Institutes/Universities and certifications. Anyone from any field or profession or age or any background is welcomed and it just requires passion and will who really wants to do something new or advance to the society/world with a great plan and some sort of computer or operating system.
Success Stories:
There are thousands of examples set by ordinary individuals who changed the world how it was used to be i.e.
Steve Jobs (Co-founder of Apple),
Bill gates (founder of Microsoft),
Larry Page and Sergey Brin (founders of Google),
Mark Zuckerberg (founder of Facebook),
Jack Ma (Founder of AliBaba group),
and the list goes on and on. Whoever just an ordinary students and businessman just like any other only their passion made them public figure and genius around the globe.
Misconceptions:
Now those who wonder that IT requires some knowledge about some Tools, software or computing languages can just develop an application and earn a name from it, it’s just wrong perspective, because IT is as much as boring(dishevel) as it can be, when someone gets stuck in just simple codes or algorithm and gets more annoying when you’re working for as an employee and you don’t have time to think because its already late and your boss not letting you to make any more delays at that point every single human being thinks why I am in IT. According to me “most IT guys are on a verge of committing suicide.”
What IT Needs:
Requires plan of your own, desire to achieve, passion and total concentration, so that there is nothing to worry about and carry on your project peacefully. In fact most of the IT firms are changing their environment to be as much as stress free so that their programmers concentrate on work more than time. E.g. Google has no working hours their employees can work at anytime when they want to.
Because of it most of the IT professionals and figures are self built not employees and not even university graduates. But don’t take me wrong there are good jobs and plenty of them which offers handsome pay, most of them are related to designing, programming, networking and database from which people are getting huge cash and great lifestyle from a simple developer to the CEO of the company, but being the part of world elite is what IT provides you, which jobs restricts IT from to achieve a great goal. You have to be visionary with an idea have the courage and love to accomplish it, then you never know you can be among the people who are today worlds famous because of IT.
