“Don’t Wait for the

Right Opportunity.

Just create IT”

- Bernard Shaw

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY: WHO ARE WE?

Information science, alternately called Information technology, is one of the broadest and most all-encompassing IT majors. Information science majors start from the beginning, learning the common programming languages and mathematical algorithms that make hardware and software tick. Then we learn about operating systems, databases, networks and security. Once we have an understanding of how these basic systems work, we learn how to analyze the needs of an organization or business to design the best and most secure information systems.

IT IS EVERYWHERE There are hundreds, if not thousands of IT

job titles out there. We'll take a look at the six most popular IT career paths:

Manager Analyst Administrator Engineer Support Web specialist Most modern businesses depend heavily on

information systems, from employee e-mail to database management to e-commerce Web sites. Hospitals have large patient databases to maintain. Universities have sprawling networks to administer. Even a small, home-based cookie business needs an order-tracking system.

Four of the ten most in-demand jobs right now

in the United States are IT jobs. IT is everywhere. For that reason, IT professionals are in high demand.
