Computer and information systems managers (often known as IT) work within a company to handle activities related to data processing, information systems, systems analysis, and computer programming. On a more conceptual level, they also work with an organization’s broader management team to determine technology goals and then choose and implement the appropriate computer systems and technology to achieve those goals. The total employment is 365,690, with an average wage of $149,730. Only a bachelor’s degree is required for this field, which is projected to grow 12% by 2026.
