These days, the Internet and privately-owned intranets and extranets keep everyone connected. Whether you want to talk, transfer data, send a message or watch a video, it all travels through a variety of networks. As more people and companies become dependent on these networks, more problems need to be overcome. These include:

Bad connections
Loss of bandwidth
Crashed or corrupt files
Threats from hackers
Computer viruses
Identity theft
Online fraud and credit card theft

More skilled technicians will be needed to install, maintain, manage, repair and secure complex network systems. According to Computerworldmagazine, high-profile breaches have prompted company executives to ramp up the demand for qualified security professionals to the highest levels since 9/11.

In addition, new uses for computer-based networks are being developed everyday. In the healthcare industry alone, new systems are needed to manage patient records and new databases are being developed to run DNA sequencing. Opportunities are out there for those who have what it takes.

A career in information technology could be right for you if you:

Enjoy working with computers
Can work well in a wide range of environments
Find technical problem-solving very satisfying
Are better at thinking, organizing and understanding than persuading
Work well alone and in a team
