IT Professionals Day.
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.
1. Marketplace manager.
The job is to make sure the marketplace reaches revenue goals. You will work with suppliers to make sure you have required products in stock (or available for drop shipping), customers to improve their marketplace experience, and marketing to execute promotions and drive sales.
Required skills: knowledge of e-commerce platforms (at least the one you choose to work with), good communication skills.
How to start: You can begin with basic Foundations of Digital Marketing and E-commerce courses and then learn in-depth about a specific platform, such as Shopify, Woo Commerce, or Magento.
2. Database Administrator.
The job is to ensure the databases run efficiently and securely. For example, you’ll create and organize systems to store different data types, such as financial information and customer shipping records. You will also make sure authorized users can access this information when needed.
Required skills: Specific hard skills for database administration typically vary by company, position, and project. You will need to know one or several of the following: SQL, UNIX, Linux, Oracle, and HTML.
How to start: You can study on Coursera, Udemy, or specialized platforms. For example, Oracle University offers many courses, including MySQL for Beginners.
Why become IT Professionals?
Both junior marketplace managers and database administrators earn around $40,000 a year, so it’s an excellent opportunity. These are great options if you are looking to switch careers and can spend a few months learning. And with experience, in a few years, you will be able to just to $80,000 or higher.
