A wide range of opportunities exists that come with pursuing IT which include network administration, media, and digital technologies, technical support, and web technologies applications software among many others.
Another exciting aspect why I pursued IT is because of its ability to overlap with a lot of industries, meaning it is possible to find work in any sector of interest with endless possibilities.

Facing the challenges is what brings out the best in me. With the mind of problem-solving and creativity, I always wanted to respond with innovative solutions to the technical problems of a workforce.

The field is always focused on the improvement of our daily lives and breaking boundaries. Whether one is onGet into IT the support side or creative side, the career will ever expose them to new concepts and developments.
