By profession, I graduated as an Electronics and Communications Engineer, but my stint with this profession was short-lived. For most of my working life, I was an IT specialist: I was an instructor, programmer, web designer and programmer and now, I do some blogging too.
I have encountered others like me who like to consider changing careers because IT is fast becoming a profession that pays a lot when employed. I also discovered that there are also more jobs in the internet that opens up more possibilities because of some outsourcing sites. Writing and programming are jobs that are usually outsourced for less expensive but quality labor.
I began the IT field by having an inclination in programming. As I was taking up engineering, I noticed that I always got high grades in computer subjects. This had prompted me to pursue professions related to IT.
I took up short term courses to further enhance my skills. After finishing these courses, I got myself employed as an IT instructor for a few years. Then I moved to another company working as a programmer – although I was doing a number of things at a time – web designer, programmer and technician.
Now, I had decided to go on freelance. Although I had applied to various jobs, I had considered the possibility of going freelance instead of getting employed. This is entirely a very different experience indeed because I am relieved from the pressure of going to work and setting strict timetables.
