Technology has become such a big part of our lives in the past couple of years. I completely agree with this article, about how the demand for IT has increased tremendously. About couple of weeks ago, when I went to go visit PwC, an accounting firm, I was told how they are looking for students who have some background on IT, data analytics, and excel. If we, accounting majors, need to learn this, I can’t even image how much more IT pros are required to know. But I do believe that it is very essential for people in business to have a basic knowledge on IT.
In this day and age it is most important to have a skill set before applying them to your career path. Technology is driving the world forward, faster than ever and in order to allow your business and career to prosper, you need to be a head of the games and learn as many skill sets as you can.
