This infographic from Focus claims that IT-related positions compose three of the top 10 "Best Jobs in America." Systems engineers, IT project managers, and security consultants are ranked at number one, number five, and number eight, respectively. The graphic also indicates that 7 of the top 35 jobs are in the IT sector. Interestingly, there are only 13,000 security consultants, far fewer than the 200,000 IT business analysts, or the nearly 800,000 software developers.
Health care jobs also have a strong representation in the list. It's a good time to be a security consultant working extensively in the health care sector. I'm excited that I regularly play the role of system engineer, project manager, and security consultant, often all in a single day.
The data was gathered from cnnmoney.com, payscal.com, and the U.S. Bureau of Labor.
