It’s college acceptance season, so what are the best reasons to encourage your child to go into information technology?
“As parents, one of our major concerns is that our children have reliable, useful, and potentially lucrative careers once they leave the nest. While there are many admirable careers that meet these criteria, it has become clear information technology (IT) meets these important criteria. The role of IT consultants has been expanding for decades as we rely on technology to run our businesses, homes, and other activities through computers and the ever-present mobile devices. The need for quality IT consultants has certainly expanded during the recent pandemic as businesses have shifted to remote/virtual working arrangements. This requires using proper hardware and continually implementing the newest and most sophisticated cyber-security products to prevent hacking, stealing of data, and expensive malware efforts. The need for quality IT professionals will increase and the market needs quality consultants to insure the safe use of computer networks. Parents can confidently recommend or suggest IT as a reliable, useful, and needed career that can provide challenges and security for the foreseeable future.”

— Jess Coburn, president and founder of Applied Innovations, Boca Raton
