Information Technology is a great field for anyone who enjoys creative, challenging, and ever-changing work. It gives you the opportunity to work in a variety of areas. Finance, healthcare, high technology, entertainment - you name it, there are IT jobs in the field. And there are an ever-growing number of IT jobs once you have your first job. But contrary to what some think, getting that first job requires more than knowing HTML, having your own website, or even being a hardware wizard. However, if you follow the following steps, you will be well-prepared to start a great IT career.

  1. Consider what part of IT you would like to work in. If you would like to work in computer animation, then preparing for your IT career by learning computer languages geared towards business applications won't work. This isn't to suggest you need to decide what you ultimately want to do immediately. If you don't know, then consider starting some basic IT classes and see what you like. It might surprise you - you might have a hidden knack for graphic design, networking, hardware, technical writing, or even project management. But once you have a general sense of where you would like to go with your IT career (at least initially), it will be much easier to start your career.

  2. Locate a good program and apply. Most IT jobs these days require at least a Bachelor's degree in computer science or a related degree. Employers want to see that a candidate has a solid background - not just that you assembled a computer in your basement. Step 1 will give you a better sense of what school to look at; if you are interested in networking, but the college you attend does not offer any networking classes (or does not have a strong program), you will not be prepared. Try to find a list of companies that recruit from a particular school's computer science program. If you see companies that you would like to work for, it's probably a good program for you.
