If you are a student, and you are thinking about to work in IT industry, there are a few thing I think you should consider before you make the decision.
1. Is it really you interest?
To work in IT industry, you have to spend time and effort to learn and explore wide range of knowledge, not just IT skills, but also how other industry runs. That's why you have to assure IT is you interest, if so, you can work happier, faster and not so easy to give up. But remember, interested in playing computer games, or assembling personal computers doesn't mean you are interested in IT.
2. Is your personality suitable to work in IT industry?
Many job in IT have a few rooms for errors, if you are a meticulous person, you will be more suitable to work in IT field. If you are a very outgoing person, you may feel bad as IT workers always need to spend time on studying and working.
3. Are you ready to work overtime, and keep learning new things?
As I have mentioned above, IT workers need to spend a lot of time to learn new things, catching up new technologies, renewing certificates, etc. You will have to sacrifices your sleep time, rest time to doing this. Are you okay with this? Think carefully.
4. Do you understand about the industry?
Again, IT are closely related to other industry, so you need to have knowledge about different industry like finance, logistic, retail, etc. You need to know how they works in order to perform IT tasks to fit their operation.
You should have you answer after considering the above 4 things. But these are the most important things I believe to be consider doesn't mean they are the only 4 things you have to think of. It will be good for you to talk with more people working in this field to know more about this industry and make better decision.
