Computers in the Workplace

The CIO article states that IT jobs pay an average of $144,666. Nowadays on social media hearing six figures is the way to go, therefore, people are looking towards applying to a lot more IT careers. The technology world has evolved where internet browsers, antiviruses and some software are becoming obsolete. With the removal of such software and innovations of other IT careers have the same change and even more so the industry and the world have develop even ore need for these IT specialists.

One of the main interest in these careers is mainly due to COVID-19, having to  work from home and companies improving their online services and doing virtual meetings. Therefore, when software do not work and there are network glitches, the ideal person to call is an IT expert. I believe that IT careers need to receive the same respect as other professions like doctors and lawyers. I agree that these professions deal with a lot of technicalities that make them stay in school longer. However, whose software is going to help patients and protect information, whose software is going protect data and ensure classified information is safeguarded? Therefore, it all comes down to IT. IT acts as a support to each of these professions to name a few and we do not see their value until a software is not working properly. 

We need IT professional to help safeguard our information and help with network connections. IT has become a primary aspect of our lives therefore, we must adapt to its changes for the betterment of our lives.
