Instructor: Okay, let's talk about facts
about information technology.
Now I'm gonna go over the statistics,
the real numbers that I gathered together
which will tell you
whether you have made the right decision or not.
Whether this IT field is right for you or not.
So let's look at a few of them.
Now, the IT role in our life is very important nowadays.
You have information technology
or technology gadgets everywhere.
You have that in TV, in cars, you do shopping online
you have phone full of technology.
Then IT jobs are expected to grow by 22% 'til 2020.
Now remember guys, we are in 2018,
and in two years it's gonna increase by 22%.
68% of companies are struggling
to find qualified IT candidates.
What it means, that a hundred percent of the companies
that we have here,
out of those 68% are still having trouble
finding the right person.
All right?
Many IT professionals are making more
than medical professional nowadays.
Now, this is not just a fact, but it's actually
I have seen with my own eyes
that there are IT people who are making way more
than physicians and doctor people who are in medical field.
Now, 64% of the companies are investing in IT initiative.
Companies that are not in IT,
that are manufacturing clothes, building cars,
building pianos, making carpets,
any kind of companies, they need IT.
And out of those, 64% of them are investing in IT.
You don't need a high level of education to start in IT.
Now, I'm definitely not encouraging those
who don't want to go
and pursue their bachelor's or master's.
I've definitely discouraged them.
I am just telling people who cannot afford to go to college
or who cannot afford to go to for master's degree.
You could still get into IT
by going through some certifications, some courses,
and you gotta gain some experience
and you could enter the IT field.
And of course, if you have a bachelor's degree
and if you have a master's degree, sky is the limit
and you will succeed in IT field so fast.
IT job salary ranges from 40,000 to 400,000.
Again, it depends on your experience, your skills,
and of course your qualification.
As per Bureau of Labor statistics, in 2016,
the median income of a bachelor's degree holder
having an entry level job in IT is making
above hundred thousand dollar.
A US tech industry worker,
now, anyone, any US tech industry worker,
annual wage is above hundred thousand dollars
as compared to $50,000 of any other worker
in any other sector.
And the last one is in US,
in 2015, the jobs that were outsourced
the IT jobs that were outsourced, were over 2 million.
Now, guys, that's definitely,
definitely something wrong here.
It means we don't have the right people,
so we are spending our time in different fields.
Not that there is anything wrong with other fields,
but if you have a field that is growing so fast,
so rapidly and companies don't have, don't,
can't find people to fulfill those jobs, then what?
Ask yourself, are you getting,
are you making the right decision
by getting into the right field?
I would say yes.
