Career Outlook

↑↑ 17% growthMuch faster than average (BLS 2024–2034)

17% growth. Every company is now a tech company to some degree, and someone has to manage the infrastructure. The biggest demand: people who can oversee cloud migrations, lock down security, and figure out which AI tools are actually worth buying vs. hype.

Worth knowing: Remote work changed the salary landscape. An IT director in Omaha used to earn 40% less than one in San Jose. That gap is narrowing as companies hire nationally — a trend that benefits candidates in lower cost-of-living areas.
