Bachelor of Science (B. Sc) in Information Technology

Realistically, human society is in the twenty-first century, and everything centers around technology. It may be found in almost every corner of daily life. Information is king in today’s society, and information technology (IT) has an impact on every aspect of human life. Increased productivity in many work-related and individual activities is one of the many advantages of technology. So, the answer to why Information Technology is increased productivity.

A growing career field

Most students are nervous about finding a job after graduation. While nothing is guaranteed when it comes to the job market, the employment in the IT field does appear to be on a strong trajectory. This job sector is projected to grow, with the NASSCOM projecting that computer and IT occupations will grow by 11 percent from 2019 to 2029. That’s a projected to be $350 billion revenues by 2030 in India in the software industry!

With the digital age constantly requiring new solutions for data storage, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and more, it’s no surprise that IT workers are expected to be in high demand for the foreseeable future.

Work in nearly any industry

Not only is there growing demand for IT professionals, but they also have the luxury of being able to work in nearly any industry. Technology powers businesses of all types, meaning that there’s a tech position waiting for  in fields as different as retail, finance, manufacturing and education etc. to software industry

While that might not seem like a big deal at face value, this provides potential job security. Recessions and relatively rough economic stretches are a fact of life. Having a broadly applicable and desirable skill set is a huge asset during times of uncertainty. IT skills provide options, and it never hurts to have options.

An innovative career field

The technology field is constantly growing and changing. It needs employees who are excited to be on the cutting edge of innovation as it continues to evolve. If one is easily bored with the status quo and constantly imagining ways things could be better or more efficient, they would probably be a good fit for an IT career.

Work rewards

Surprised to see this on the list? Don’t be! Technology makes a big difference in entire industries as well as in the lives of individual people around the world. It can be rewarding to know that everyday work is having a positive effect on others and contributing to the growing network of technology the human societies rely on.

Curiosity is celebrated

Not all career fields welcome employees who think outside the box. Lucky, IT isn’t one of them! An individual’s natural sense of curiosity will be rewarded in the technology world, where one can use their drive for learning to help develop innovative new ideas.

Never boring jobs

Many of the technology professionals shared that the variety in their workdays is one of the best parts of their job. While the details will depend on the specific type of IT role one pursues, every day has the potential to come with new problems to solve, ideas to brainstorm and tools to put to use. This variety of work can help a professional to keep their days feeling fresh.

Work opportunities in any locations

The IT industry was leading the way in remote work even before the COVID-19 pandemic hit and turned many roles into work-from-home positions. “It is probably the most flexible career in terms of schedule.

It’s not just remote work opportunities, either. Having a strong background in information technology will give a foundation of knowledge that can be applied across the globe. IT skills are universal in every country, unlike, for example, accountancy and law.
