Hello Kyle C,
Computer tech is more generic word and we are living in 21st century with the evolution of emerging technologies. There are always demand for each and every skill, just make yourself focused on a track what you want to achieve and how you want to achieve. For example if you want to be a Website developer Start with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and so on you can get a track from search engines. If you want to be a network engineer then start from Comptia N+, CCNA Enterprise and move on the track. Or if you want to be a Cloud engineer then you can start from AWS Cloud Practitioner then follwed by AWS Solution Architect Associate and so on as per the track.
Find you interest, and do learn and practice for the certifications. Hope this answer helped you !! I am happy to help if you have any more doubts to clarify !

Overall, yes, tech jobs are in very high demand. I do want to warn you, however, that there appears (at least in my experience) to be a bottleneck when it comes to entry-level positions. New grads are scrambling to get positions while there are way more higher seniority positions open. Now, this is more of an issue in some tech fields over others, so just keep that into consideration when you are picking your career path.

Computer Tech is definitely in demand. More companies are moving to a more digital experience and improvements through automation. You can look into development or support in the field.

Computer/Technology is such a wide and vast industry that there are some many options for you to choose from. In short, the answer to your question is yes. There is no industry in the world right now that does not rely on some sort of computer technology for its infrastructure.
Now the hard part is finding a career path that is in high-demand, that you are good at and that will ensure continual growth. If you are serious about getting into computer technology I would start asking yourself these questions:
-What technology excites you?
-What news articles to you find yourself more engaged with?
-What subject are easy for you to understand?
With some of those questions in mind you can start to piece together a career path. For example I found myself most excited to read articles that talk about how certain software was built and what venerabilities users needed to watch out for. It was that curiosity that lead me to cybersecurity where I can deconstruct software and search for bugs in code.

Hi Kyle! Yes, the tech industry is extremely big right now, and people like software engineers are definitely in high demand. If you're interested in getting involved in the tech space, I would suggest taking some introductory coding classes to get a feel for that kind of work and see if it's something you like. The tech industry is multifaceted, so it could be helpful to find out which area you'd like to occupy. Some examples of subsections in the tech industry include financial tech, health tech, education tech, etc. Different types of engineers use different coding languages and work using different databases. Doing some research into the different types of engineers could help you figure out if computer engineering is something you might want to get involved in. If you want more information, I would also suggest watching YouTube "Day In the Life" style videos of people working in the tech industry to see if it excites you. You could also search LinkedIn for people working at a tech company you really admire and see if they'd be willing to speak with you about what they do. Since the tech world is so big, you're free to explore and decide what part of it you want to engage with! Remember that you don't have to make a decision right now about what kind of career you might want in tech, and you may decide it's not for you at all and that's ok too. It's never too late to pivot and there's no reason to worry that you've backed yourself into a corner before you've even started.

There is always a high demand on Computer Tech all the time. Can you imagine our world without Technology? Almost everything we use, we work, we play involving technology.
However, there are many different careers in Technology , e.g. software development, computer engineering, application support, database administration, system administration, etc.
The first thing I would ask you is whether you are really interested in Technology and not because of the demand. It would be a pain if you work on something 8 hours a day that you have no interest.
Then, you may explore what role (as I aforementioned) you would like to work on. You can explore more on the careers and speak to someone who actually in that career. Then, you can find out the relevant subjects that you can take in the college and the respective entry requirements.
Hope this helps! Good Luck!

Hi Kyle,
As everybody else before me said, the tech industry is expanding a lot. With the pandemic, it even accelerated the need for computer solutions, from laptops/desktops to servers, storage systems and many industrial solutions that many people are not aware of.
So yes, computer industry is expanding. Software is what is growing the most as the industry is heading towards software defined solutions supported by hardware. And therefore, hardware is still in demand to support running software, faster and more reliable access and so on.
Then ask yourself, do you want to work in hardware, software or more IT oriented ?
All have increasing needs.
