About the Career
Computers–can you imagine life without them?
So much of what we do, whether at work, at
home, or somewhere in between, depends on the
use of computer information systems. If you
enjoy using various operating systems, learning
all kinds of software applications, doing some
programming, troubleshooting hardware and
software, and helping others learn to use
technology and information systems, a career as a
computer support specialist may be the perfect fit
for your high–tech talents.
Career Outlook
As organizations attempt to maximize the efficiency of their computer systems, the need for highly sophisticated technological innovation increases. Because of this, the demand for microcomputer specialists is expected to be strong well into the next decade. Opportunities will be best for those who combine strong programming and traditional systems analysis skills with good interpersonal and business skills.
