My Group decided to answer question number two. Looking through the job sites it was pretty hard to actually find any job postings that listed its salary or hourly wage. I did manage to find a couple though, but our main resource was the Computer World 2010 Salary Survey. Looking through the different jobs and the average salaries we found that they are all quite reasonable and paid pretty well.
The salaries for most all the jobs in each category (accounting, marketing, human resources, etc.) seemed to be about the same. Of course some jobs did pay more or less, but different ones seemed to be looking for differing levels of experience. And in all categories we were surprised to see almost all the jobs had to do with IT, especially in areas like Research Triangle Park.
After getting all the information together we mostly talked about IT careers in our different fields. Personally I am a marketing major, the only one in my group, so I did most the research on my own. And in marketing there were a ton of different jobs available particularly in IT. They all were fairly interesting, expect for the fact that most of them weren’t permanent positions. Other people in the group saw that as a bad thing, but personally I plan on working as a consultant so the lack of permanence is exacting what I am looking for. The pay for the marketing jobs was awesome in my opinion. Even starting pay for a little experience was wonderful and with experience only went up, furthermore in some cases way up. Doing this research made me realize how much of my future field involves IT and I can’t wait to graduate and get started.
