There’s no doubt in your mind—you want to work in the exciting world of technology! And with the promising job growth and exciting earning potential, who could blame you?
The average median salary for professionals in this industry is upwards of $75,000 annually, according to theU.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).* These positions are also projected to grow by an average of nearly 19 percent through 2022, which is almost double the average growth rate of all occupations (11 percent).
