When TechTarget listed the most in-demand tech jobs of 2024, “IT Manager” was the number one job, and several of the other top 10 were IT related positions.
That shouldn’t be a surprise – for years now, labor market analysis has been saying that IT Support positions have more open jobs than there are candidates.
That’s because modern businesses run on technology. A whole series of important jobs actually depend on people with IT training. Support Technicians, Support Specialists, Help Desk Representatives, and more, are all good paying jobs that companies are currently hiring for.
What’s most exciting about a career in IT Support is that it’s easy to ramp up a new career in tech. You don’t need to know how to code or have a lot of experience with computers, you just need to learn the right skills.
Which means that IT Support is a great opportunity for people looking to transition their career into technology.
