Future of IT Jobs

Future of IT Jobs

I was reading an article The future of IT will be reduced to three kinds of jobs in which author talks about the future of IT jobs and only three kinds of jobs – Consultants, Project Manager, and Developers will survive and rest of the jobs will diminish slowly.

I have to disagree with it. I think there are many more roles in IT will be available and Administrators, Network Engineers, Data and Security Engineers as I wrote in my blog Top 6 Software Development Trends in 2011. Let's not forget Tester Roles.

Now cloud computing seems to be the growing trend, this is correct that need of a local Network Administrator or Engineer will diminish. Now, we can host our emails on Office 365 online and data, applications and tools can be on the cloud, all we need is, take care of the business.

But, somebody needs to manage the data. Somebody needs to provide security around it. Let's not forget growing social media and other integrations.

What is your take on this?
