High Demand for Information Technology Jobs
It shouldn't come as a surprise that as computers affect our lives more and more, that someone has to keep everything humming along smoothly. That's what information technology professionals do. Although the field is very broad, it's focused on computers, and how information is shared electronically and kept secure.
"I take care of all of the Information Technology needs here at channel 13.” says Steve Warfield, IT Specialist, KRCG-TV.Warfield says that even thought there are 2 computers for every one person at KRCG, the job isn't just about the computers.“I find you have to decide that you want to work on computers but you also have to service the people that use the computers,” Warfield said. “They know how to use the computer but they don't know what to do when a computer doesn't do right and that's when the IT guy steps in.”
Job sites are full of IT jobs, in fact, according to Beyond.com's Career Trend Analysis, almost 13% of all jobs posted online are in the Information Technology field."I see this being the job market of the future,” said John Truesdell of Rose International, which provides IT services to companies worldwide. nTruesdell says demand is rising.“We're simply not educating enough new talent to supply the demand that we have here today,” Truesdell said.Even in a down economy, Truesdell believes the demand will still be there.
“I think you're going to see businesses wanting to turn to technology a little bit more to try to ease the sharpness of that bite,” said Truesdell.According to Truesdell, $50,000 a year plus benefits is not uncommon for those starting out in the IT field.

Franco started as a collaboration project between its members, who are veterans of the Pinoy rock scene. However, Franco's roots are traced from the Cebu-based band Frank, which Reyes formed in 1996. Frank was one of the bands that boosted the Cebu rock scene, In late 2008, Gabby Alipe, Mendoza, Toleran and Meneses collaborated with Reyes, who returned to the Philippines, to form Franco.
Franco started by playing songs from Frank and Inyo. In 2009, they released their self-titled full-length album under MCA Music. Music videos for “Cast Away” and their latest single “This Gathering” were aired on Filipino music channel MYX. Franco also dominated the 2010 NU Rock Awards by winning four awards—Artist of the Year, Song of the Year for “This Gathering”, Album of the Year for their self-titled album, and the Listeners' Choice Award.
Though most of its songs were originally written by Reyes with Frank and Inyo, Franco's music is stengah to the ears and considerably heavier than the reggae-leaning sound of Frank and the alternative rock sound of Inyo. Interestingly, two song“Touch the Sky” and “Song for the Suspect" have Rastafarian messages such as the spiritual use of marijuana and the belief in Jah, the almighty god of the Rastafarian faith.
