One skilled in the field of information technology

Without computers, we do not have to do, and people to understand them - always in great demand. Canada, Germany and other countries to give the green light to foreign IT-specialists of, just to fill existing vacancies.

"Within five years, the company will be presented either on the Internet or will cease to exist", - said in 1999, the head of Intel's Andy Groves (Andy Groves). His prediction then seemed too categorical statement, but today even the pessimists have to admit that he was right. Resist the computerization of society is meaningless. And if so, the world needs more and more specialists in IT.

Who are they? This system administrators, programmers, web designers and other fighters invisible front, serving the computer world. All of them - the presence of theproper qualifications and experience - are in great demand in the global labor market. For example, the United States Association of Information Technology (Information Technology Association of America) has published data showing that in IT the US is now 10.4 million people are working, and another 900 thousand. Positions remain vacant, and half of them are unable to find suitable candidates. And Deputy Prime Minister of Ireland, turned into the Silicon Valley of Europe, in 2000, specially made a tour of India, urging qualified programmers go to work in the country of the Celts. Special efforts to attract programmers take as Germany, Canada and Australia.

We programmer profession prestigious and well paid. There is a constant demand for specialists in this field. Therefore, many students are held to earn already at the second-third year, no problem finding a place they do not normally occur. Experts say the great possibilities of the so-called offshore programming, when foreign companies place orders for software development in Ukraine.

So, there is a five advantages of IT-specialization. The first - the work is interesting, a lot of opportunities for self-realization. Second - it is possible to earn a lot. Third - unemployment is not threatened. Fourth - you can work in almost any country. Fifth - you really the right person, you will be helping people, and for many of us the realization of this really matters.

Now it's time to figure out where and under what conditions it is possible to learn the specialties of this area.

How to become a programmer?

To work in IT, you need to have logical thinking, good mathematical training, know English (universal computer language community), and be you with the computer. On the last point there is no problem: Now many families have computers, and the children have the opportunity to develop them even during his school years. But the good knowledge of mathematics - is a matter of diligent school. Well, if the school is not easy, and physics and mathematics. Even better, the young programmer takes part in mathematical competitions and has the appropriate credentials.

If finances allow, you can go to study abroad (where appropriate program called Computer Science or Computing). International baccalaureate program in this direction is designed for 3-4 years of training. You can then enter the 1-2-year master's program.

And here and there, students learn the same thing: the architecture of the device and computer systems, programming languages, the organization of information systems and other items. Plus study abroad - a modern material and technical base: computers newer, better equipped laboratories, Internet is everywhere and works faster.

But will have to learn for life. Constantly come out with new versions of software, updated hardware features. Behind all this is necessary to closely follow short courses leading to a certificate of ownership of these or other programs not in vain in this area are so common.
