Everyone says that the IT industry pays high wages, and the IT industry often has to work overtime, but they only know these two points and have little knowledge about other things in the IT industry. If the IT industry is really as simple as they say, it will not attract so many young people to join. People in the IT industry are good at self-hacking. After work, programmers occasionally complain about themselves on Internet forums and blogs. On the other hand, they work hard and diligently. Do you know why IT people like self-defeating so much? There is a saying that it is to create an illusion for people in other industries, so that it can prevent more people from entering the competition. It may be a bit of an exaggeration, but it is the characteristic of this industry that IT people entertain themselves and hack themselves. In fact, most people who enter the IT industry know in their minds what makes them willing to continue in the IT industry without regrets.
1. Can support a family
It is very difficult for the IT industry to earn money from dead wages, but it is definitely enough to support the family. After working for one or two years, there are small programmers on the streets with monthly salaries of over 10,000. It is normal to work for three to five years with a monthly salary of 10,000 or 20,000. But it is difficult for other industries to achieve such high wages. In China, if you look only at salary income, finance and IT are definitely the top industries. Compared with other traditional industries, the wage level of the IT industry is still at a relatively high level, not to mention that you are lucky enough to devote yourself to a start-up company to obtain equity options, etc. The rapid development of the IT industry brings a lot of attention to every practitioner Visible and tangible benefits. I think this is the reason why the IT circle can attract so many promising young people to join.
2. Fair competition
The IT industry is the fairest. No one depends on relationships or background. Your ability determines everything. After you work in the IT industry, your horizons will be broader. You can touch things you have never touched before, and you can always pay attention to the world. Your thinking and ideas may change completely. Yes, IT is a fairer platform than other industries. Your abilities determine everything. As long as you have real abilities, you don't have to worry about your future in this industry.
3. Entrepreneurship success rate
If you have been in the IT industry for a long time and you have sufficient funds and manpower, if you have any ideas, you may be able to start your own business, and IT people are relatively hard-working and conservative, so the success rate of IT people Other industries are slightly higher.
4. It is not difficult to change halfway
Some students who were admitted to various prestigious schools and who studied physics, chemistry, mathematics and other sciences switched to the IT industry. For their thinking logic and learning ability, it is relatively easier for them to switch to IT. The reason is that after graduation, some students can't find a job they are satisfied with, and don't want to engage in unrealistic chemistry, academic and other research work with low wages, so they all turn to the IT industry.
5. Broad vision
The IT industry originated in Europe and the United States, surging across the world. The world you see when doing IT is no longer just your company, your products, and your country. You are dealing with people and things from different countries, regions, and industries every day. The so-called focus on China and the world.
6. Stay young
In the IT circle, I am exposed to new things every day. I think this is an important feature that distinguishes it from all other industries. Every day, there are endless new products, new ideas, new methods, and new ideas roaring in front of you. If you have an open mind and are willing to understand and explore these new things, you will always retain your own curiosity and always have a young mindset. Believe me, you must remain curious about the world, so that you won't become a mediocre, unclear person after entering middle age.
7. More job options
IT is not equal to programming. Although programming is the core of the IT industry, there are also many positions in testing, design, product, operation, etc. You are poor in mathematics, logic, and not suitable for programming. You can still choose other IT hot and high salaries. post.
8. Ability improvement
The first is to improve learning ability. You have to keep learning and you don’t have a lot of learning time. Quickly master various technical skills related to work in a short time. This ability is an infinite ability that will make you in the IT circle or even other industry circles in the future.
The second is to improve time management capabilities. As I mentioned earlier, you are faced with a lot of work every day and every week, plus your own study plan, it is so-called complicated. Everyone who can be a fish in the water in the IT industry must be a person who can manage his time and things well. Efficient work is definitely the basic skill of IT. How to work efficiently, you can learn about many excellent time management and calendar management methods, and choose the most suitable methods and tools.
Then there is the improvement of rational thinking ability. IT is a typical science and engineering field, and having rational thinking is the foundation of the foundation. And long-term immersion in the IT circle, your ability to think rationally will be greatly improved. Look at any problem rationally and objectively, without any perceptual thoughts when seeking solutions.
9. A sense of accomplishment
Based on the above-mentioned ability foundation, I believe that you will be able to stand firm in the IT industry. Ability growth, broad vision, and open mind will make your IT career have a great development. Develop customer-satisfied source code, provide customers with a complex IT architecture design, and solve an emergency system failure of customers. Behind these successes, you will get a full sense of accomplishment.
New dream summary: IT industry can not only meet the survival requirements, but also meet the needs of respect, self-realization and self-transcendence. Perhaps there are some other small factors in the IT industry that make you want to escape temporarily, which will make you feel a little confused when you are tired, but after calm thinking, I hope you will choose to continue to engage in this industry. Look at the nine points summarized above. There are still many reasons why you should stick to it in the IT industry, right?
