Added: Over a year ago by Wiley Edge

With the emergence of smarter devices, quantum computing, AI, datafication to name just a few, there is no escaping the fact that many innovations and breakthroughs are happening right now, helping to transform business and society.

A career in technology means working in the fastest-growing, fastest-changing and possibly most demanding career sector. It rewards innovation and creativity but demands accuracy and massive attention to detail. Here we have listed seven reasons graduates should consider a career in tech.

1. Most jobs are well paid

Because of increased demand for individuals with technical skills, tech professionals mark an upgrade when it comes to earning considerably high revenues. Before you get your geek on, check out the top 10 highest paying jobs for 2021.

2. Great job security

While no industry is 100% immune to an economic downturn, computer science opportunities in the tech industry continue to expand. In fact, the sector needs more new and diverse professionals more than ever. 

3. Work flexibility

Most tech companies realise work flexibility is important and won’t usually keep you tied to a strict 9-to-6 schedule like many other employers. This will free you up to make your own schedule, achieve a bit of that work-life balance people keep talking about and telecommute on occasion. This has been a crucial step in the tech industry to induce agile working along with productive outcomes.

4. Constant learning

Technology is ever-changing. You can never acquire enough knowledge for this niche, which means you might get a chance to work on various projects with different roles to play in each. This will assist you in learning the course of your work along with discovering and attaining new skills.

5. Culture and perks

Many people don’t realise the tech industry has a stimulating culture that isn’t just based on work. Have you ever been to a hackathon? It’s a great opportunity to show off your skills and socialise with like-minded people.

6. Magnet for investment

Technology is an essential part of any organisation's success. Companies are constantly making continuous investments in technology to maintain a competitive edge and stay relevant.

7. Play a role in the future

Digital technology is at the forefront of our ever-evolving world – and the possibilities for innovation are infinite. If you like the idea of working for a company that’s transforming the world we live in, you won’t find a better industry to specialise in.
