A local school corporation would like to integrate more advanced technology into the classroom, but it's not sure what software it needs or whether it can afford it. Enter the computer systems analyst.
The computer systems analyst may be referred to as the "IT guy" where you work. Unfortunately, this is still a primarily male-dominated field. 80 percent of all computer systems analysts are male.
Computer systems analysts consult with an organization's managers and users to define the goals of a computer system and then design a system to meet those goals. They use structured analysis, data modeling, information engineering, mathmatical model building, sampling, and accounting in their analysis and design.
The average pay in Indiana is about $67,000 and job prospects are excellent. This growing field provides excellent opportunities for advancement to those that are technically-savy problem solvers and are interested in science, technology, engineering, and math.
How to become a computer systems analyst
At Ivy Tech, you can get an Associates of Science in Computer Information Systems or Computer Information Technology. From there, you can continue on to get a bachelors degree in a similar field such as computer science.
