If you are in love with technology, Information Technology may be the career field for you. See other articles here on HowToDoThings for tips on getting IT training. Then, once you are prepared for an Information Technology career, get out there and land that first IT job in your new chosen field.

Your first job in IT may not be all that glamorous. You can plan on paying your dues at an entry-level IT job to build experience. Fortunately, an entry-level IT job still pays better than most other entry-level jobs you can get without a college degree. Get your resume into tip-top shape. List all the training and experience you have. You do have experience if you have ever torn down and rebuilt a computer, installed a motherboard or hard drive, or managed to troubleshoot and fix your neighbor's system. Don't miss anything, but don't embellish either. It won't do you any good to get an interview if you just fall on your face. You will get shot down in your interview if you can't demonstrate that you actually have the skills and knowledge you claim on your resume.

1. IT is a rare field in one respect. Even though it is a field that requires a great deal of technical knowledge, you can acquire the requisite knowledge completely on your own if you are dedicated enough. You do not need a degree from a college or university to get a job as an IT professional. There are volumes and volumes of resources available at your library, at bookstores, and especially online to prepare you for an IT career, and many of these resources are free or very inexpensive. You can then demonstrate your knowledge by taking tests and achieving certifications. Even with no experience, you can land a decent entry-level job in IT.
