How to decide if IT is for you?

Deciding what you want to do as a career in life is a major decision. You may have looked over the Network Systems and Database Communications Analyst information below and you think it is for you - but you're not sure.

In order to help you decide what career may be right for you - you need to know yourself. What are your likes and dislikes? What skills do you excel? What are your favorite activities? These are a couple of questions to ask yourself to help determine who you are.

There are interest surveys one can take to help narrow down what IT career fields you may be good at.

For example, at CyberCareers, they have an IT Careers Interest Inventory to help determine which area of IT you would be most comfortable with. By taking this interest survey you are helping identify if you this might be an area of interest for you.

Take time to get to know yourself and figure what you are all about. Ask other people what they notice about you. Sometimes they can identify traits we ourselves are unable. Enjoy getting to know yourself and focus on your strengths and likes.
