The technology industry is currently one of the most resilient on Earth, as it is virtually global and can be conducted entirely through communication systems. If you are currently unemployed or looking for a safer, more durable job that can get you through the recent economic turbulence, there are several fields that may interest you. Depending on your credentials and experience, there is a different variety of job opportunities, but the technology industry has something for everyone. In this brief article, we’ll take a look at some of the various jobs available to the various areas of education and practice.

The most obvious position you could practice online would be to work on the internet itself. This is possible both in the sense that you conduct your work online, and that you could help develop the internet itself. Almost every major corporation in existence has some aspect of itself online, and many of the largest, most stable companies in the world exist solely on the internet. Taking a job as a website or software developer is great for those with training in information technology, and there are lots of programming jobs for the various online applications being made. Even those with communication and English degrees can get work as content editors and development coordinators, with up to six-figure incomes.

Other safe technology fields are those that rely on the internet, such as computer and software companies, and more recently, mobile device and smartphone companies. These devices are all used primarily for use online, as the average person uses roughly half their time on the computer browsing the internet or going online in some form. Even gaming companies are relatively resilient, for although luxury and entertainment companies can be crushed by economic trouble, online gaming’s resilience comes from the global market and internet presence.

Even environmental science degrees can get jobs in the technology industry, with the recent upswing in environmentalism and conservation. There are all kinds of positions as hydrologists, meteorologists, and environmental scientists working for both corporate and government agencies. They generally are responsible for reducing the impact modern technology, urban development, and the harvesting of natural resources has on the environment itself, but can also be employed as production advisors or foremen for making sure new products run on as little energy as possible, and making sure employees and facilities follow company and government policy and meet environmental protection standards.

Web developers, designers, animators, embedded systems, semiconductor, messaging specialists, and JAVA developers are just some of the positions that may be available next year. To view exiting job openings in these fields visit technology job boards like http://www.techcareerdirect.com. Moreover, there are other positions in the IT industry that may be holding less technical job descriptions but will also be in demand next year. These job positions include customer support, consultancy, marketing, and sales.
