The world of information technology (IT) and cybersecurity is experiencing significant growth. With ed2go, your students can acquire the skills and industry-leading certifications that employers are seeking.

Career and Salary Potential for IT and Cybersecurity Professionals

The tech landscape in the U.S. is constantly changing, creating a huge demand for skilled professionals. According to CompTIA’s State of the Tech Workforce 2025 report, the U.S. tech workforce grew by 1.2% in 2024, adding about 72,500 new workers. The tech occupation workforce reached over 5.9 million in 2024, with projections to hit around 6.1 million in 2025.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) also predicts that jobs for computer and IT professionals are likely to grow much faster than most other jobs through 2033. On average, around 356,700 job openings are expected each year in these fields, resulting from both new job creations and the need to replace workers who retire or transition to other careers.

What does this mean for students? It means companies across all industries, from healthcare to finance to manufacturing, desperately need people with tech skills. This growth is expected to continue, making now the perfect time for students to invest in their future and become a vital part of this exciting industry.

Moreover, the median yearly salary for computer and IT professionals was $105,990 in May 2024, according to the BLS. This is significantly higher than the median yearly salary for all jobs in the U.S., which was $49,500, clearly showing that a career in IT and cybersecurity is not just in high demand, but it is also a financially rewarding path.
