Make it your day!

September 20th is National IT Professionals day in the United States. So, we decided it’s a great reason to post another list of IT professions where it’s relatively easy to start. Just after 3-5 months of studying, you will be able to jump-start an IT career with a good income.

Today we’ll focus more on management and administrator positions. If you’d like to try yourself in coding, low-coding, security, or even NFT - check out our earlier posts on the same topic.

So, let’s start! Here are 2 opportunities for those who want to become IT professionals.
