    5 Industries Where Information Technology

    Degrees Are In-Demand


    While the computer systems design industry might seem like the most direct
    educational path for a candidate with an IT degree, there are plenty of other industries
    where information technology degrees are in-demand. The need for efficient and secure
    computer technology systems exists in nearly every industry today. Information
    technology degrees are valuable to a wide range of industries such as the following,
    according to U.S. News & World Report. 

    1. Finance and insurance

    One of the industries where information technology degrees are in-demand is finance
    and insurance. These industries need to keep financial and personal data organized
    and secure, and they have to keep their businesses running efficiently to maximize
    profits. Job opportunities for IT professionals in the finance industry often include
    business analyst, technical support analyst, applications architect, data analyst, network
    administrator and developer.

     2. Education

    Education is another one of the industries where information technology degrees are in-
    demand. You might hear this career path referred to as instructional technology or
    educational technology. IT professionals who work in the field of education often take on
    roles such as online learning specialist, instructional designer, technology coordinator,
    computer learning lab coordinator, course developer and technology integration
    specialist.

     3. Manufacturing

    You might not necessarily associate the manufacturing industry with high-tech
    practices, but maybe you should. The position of Information Technology Manager
    happens to be the best-paying job in the manufacturing industry, according to job
    search website Monster. Like other industries, manufacturing requires someone to set
    up a company’s computer technology systems and keep those systems secure and
    working efficiently.

     4. Telecommunications

    Telecommunications, the industry that provides communications via telephone,


    broadcasting and cable, is another of the industries where information technology
    degrees are in-demand. Technology is integral to communication through these
    channels, so it’s no surprised that the businesses working in this industry have a need
    for skilled information technology professionals. Some IT roles commonly found in the
    telecommunications industry include data center operations manager, director of
    information technology, technology support analyst and information security specialist.

     5. Data processing and hosting

    Data processing companies naturally need to keep data organized and safe from
    hackers. To do this, they rely on information technology professionals who can build
    and maintain databases, develop efficient software applications, implement strategies to
    avoid cybersecurity threats and provide technical support when needed. Some job
    information technology titles found in the data processing and hosting industry include
    data processing technician, data processing specialist, manager of information
    processing infrastructure, information technology security engineer, information
    technology support specialist and information technology manager.

    Whether you would prefer to work in computer systems design, finance, education,
    manufacturing, telecommunications or data processing, having an IT degree means that
    you’re likely to find a positive job outlook. The number of industries where information
    technology degrees are in-demand means that you have plenty of choices about the
