Allied American University › Allied American University Blog › Accredited Online College Courses: CIS – IT Certifications Lead to Higher Pay and New Job Opportunities
Friday, November 18, 2011
In our last blog topic we discussed the role that IT certifications play both in industry and in gaining a career in the CIS field. It is interesting because there are an equal amount of supporters to IT certifications as there are to opponents. But to get to the bottom of the story it is helpful to see statistics of how obtaining one or more IT certifications can impact your salary and career path.
InfoWorld recently conducted a survey to find a correlation between IT certifications and their respective jobs and salary (pay). It is interesting to note that the survey yielded some very positive results. A large percentage of those surveyed indicated that a certification led to a new job and others also indicated earning higher pay.
This article demonstrates that the IT field is competitive and that a solid foundation in IT coupled with industry certifications can lead to new job opportunities and higher paying opportunities.
