If you’ve always dreamed of working in the high-flying field of technology, then this article is for you.

There are so many more gamers out there than there used to be. Tech has moved through so many sectors that it has attracted players from places that never would have played ten years ago. Now that everyone has access to technology, those that truly stand out are those that don’t use it daily.

But no matter how gifted the gamer, there is always a massive leap between the tech they play on, and the worlds that created them. For those technically gifted, a job in gaming isn’t just a dream. It’s achievable. A job in app development isn’t just a passing thought, it is something that could make you rich.

Gen Z have one advantage that no other generation before them had. They were raised on this technology… and some of them have bright futures in it.

A Glorious Tech Career is Only a Training Course Away

There are millions of jobs right now in the technology sector, as proven by demand noted by Hays Technology. While Covid-19 seemed to close everyone else down, those in tech did extremely well. This bred job after job working on code, developing websites, or writing programs. All across the globe there has been a surge in demand for those with technical skill.

If you are one of the gamers attracted by the idea of working with tech all day long, then there are many routes into that career path for you. At the moment, you can learn just about everything there is to know in the entirety of human history through online courses. There was a massive rush last year to create courses when the economy dipped. As a result, even Oxford University finally got online.

There can be no doubt. If you have the drive and you want to make money in tech, a training course is the first step. You can learn all sorts of things, but some of the common tech courses are:

• Software Testing
• Online IT skills like web design and development
• Coding courses
• Cloud Computing Courses
• Cyber Security
• Microsoft tools
• Tech Management
• IT Degree courses[i]

And many more. You can even learn how to make apps, write code for games, or use graphic design to create animations. The world is your oyster,

Finding Work in Technology

Asides from uploading your CV to a job site, IT is the kind of role that presents additional opportunities to get noticed. The best way to find work is to create work of your own, get noticed by an employer, and be able to add that work to your CV.

If you want to get noticed in IT, you need your own website that looks great and runs smoothly. You need a CV with work completed for yourself, as well as for other people, and you need to be willing to retrain every few years to add to your knowledge.

If you can do all of the above, then you can make the transition from gamer to game technician, in a handful of years. Soon, you could be writing them, instead of playing them.
