Is Information Technology (IT) a good field to major in?

Why do you want to work in the information technology field?

• Answer:

  I want to work in the information technology field for the following reasons: 1 - Secure field of work 2- good starting salary 3 - numerous job titles/positions within the field of information technology 4 - My concentration for my master's in Information Technology is Networking. Networking computers allows me to work with technology, but it doesn't require me to write codes for software; something that would be way over my head, I think. 5 - I'd love to major in Computer Engineering or Computer Science, but I just don't think I have the level of intelligence for that; Information Technology is the next best thing if you're interested in technology. 6 - Education, industry, government, non-profit, and others all rely on Information Technology. Even the library has an IT department. Because nearly every business needs information technology majors, you can live wherever you want without worrying about finding a job; you can find a job in this field no matter where you live! I am starting the Master of Science in Information Technology program at NC A&T in Greensboro, North Carolina this fall. It is offered completely online and their tuition rates for online programs are the cheapest I've seen anywhere! This particular department within the school does not even require the GRE! The program requirements are 30, 33 or 36 semester hours depending upon whether you choose the thesis, project or course work track. I'm doing the course work track, so I'll be taking 36 hours. Good luck in your career/educational endeavors and if you haven't made a definite decision already to get into the informational technology field, you really should consider it. It's an excellent field of work!
