The most viable career paths for IT fresh graduates in 2015.

2. The IT industry is exponentially growing in the Philippines. As
an example, we have the Philippine IT-BPO industry which
earned $16 billion in 2013 alone, and still continues to grow
today thanks in part to the country’s young, skilled workforce.
The influx of money in the said industry along with the growing
demand from other sectors has drawn the Filipino youth to
pursue a career in IT. It’s a path that’s financially promising not
just in the long term; it also offers attractive compensation
packages for the fresh IT graduate including those specializing
in IT security, IT software, and networks. Jobstreet provided
proof to this in a report that they released on the 10 highest-
paying sectors for new graduates back in March 2015.
