MIS
experts specialize in the supervision and management of teams of
technology employees, including programmers, installers, system
analysts and others. The team may work within an individual company
or as a separate consulting firm. Project Managers develop solutions
for information technology projects.
IT experts usually hold
at least a bachelor or Master's degree in a program that combines
both business and technology. They also need to be able to explain
their work to managers who have no technical knowledge. Many of
the top college programs are offered by online schools, which have
the flexibility to create degree programs that are business/technology
hybrids.
The job outlook for experts
in information technology is very bright now and expected to continue
to be good. Median salary for IT managers is about $92,500, but
salaries depend on levels of responsibilities and geographic locations.
