As of last year, there were some 627,000 unfilled jobs in the technology market, and that number has only grown since then. Why? Almost every industry — from Wall Street to Hollywood to social media companies to car factories — needs IT professionals. Just look at the cybersecurity sector: thanks to the ever-increasing threats of data theft and cyber-terrorism, that industry is going to need 3.5 million warm bodies to help secure the web by 2021.
As you might guess, these highly valued professions are commensurately rewarding. In fact, the average IT gig pays $87K a year and is likely to last, as IT unemployment is currently below 2.5%. There’s also plenty of headroom in such a job, with the average computer and information systems manager making over $120K.

Your time in college was well spent, but if you’re expecting to leave campus equipped with all the skills you need to survive in the world, you’re going to be sorely disappointed. Because as important as your Psych 101 and Beer Pong skills are, you’re also going to need to know how to manage your credit card debt, save up to buy a home, and write a killer résumé. Otherwise, you’re going to be living the same lifestyle at 30 that you were living at 19, and that stuff only gets harder with age.
To avoid that unfortunate fate, take a series of online courses called the Adulting 101 Bundle.
