5 New Tech Jobs And
What They Pay
The article that I read
was entitled 5 New tech Jobs and What They pay which was written by Investopedia.
The article was about these five new jobs that have been created in the technology
field and how much they can offer someone interested in pursuing one of them.
The first job was called Virtual Concierge. The job itself has been around for
a while but the field has altered it slightigy. According to the article the
internet makes it possible to change the way we do customer service; “Traditionally,
concierges worked in hotels and high-end apartments to provide for the daily
needs of guests and residents. The internet now makes it possible to make a
living in customer service from the comfort of home”. They pay itself was
pretty straight forward. You can work for yourself or be the work with a large
firm. The pay is between. $28,500 to $32,720 a year. The second job was Mobile
Application Developer. What they do according to the article is make apps for
people so when people use the phrase there’s an app for that they actually make
it; “ This job can be done from your bedroom as a freelancer or at a
professional development company. Apple is the leading producer of mobile
applications, so you'll need a Mac to make the most of this career path. You'll
also need to learn Objective C, the primary programming language for the iPhone.
The average mobile application developer makes between $61,000 and $67,000 a
year. The third job is Online Reputation Management. What a person with this profession
does is “To monitor every square inch of the internet for negative news and
other tidbits about their client, and then get rid of it or at least downplay
it”. The average salary in this field is at $50,100 to $66,040 a year. The
fourth job is Online Store Owner who basically owns virtual space and reaps the
rewards of entrepreneurship. According to the article; “Online sellers range
from those who occasionally sell their unwanted items, to those who create
full-scale boutiques with new merchandise from wholesale suppliers”. The average pay for a job like this varies depending
on the success of the business. The fifth and final job is Multimedia
Content Producer which basically does inline news because it seems today that
people are much more attracted to the flash graphics as well as blogs and
videos. Those
interested in these jobs can expect an average paycheck of $35,500 to $54,570 a
year. After reading this article I learned a lot of jobs related to technology.
First of I had no idea the rapid growth in the field itself. After analyzing
all of the jobs posted I thought that the Multimedia Content Producer was
really interesting. I agreed with the article because I know that if I want to know
what’s going on in the news I go online because I find it much more interesting.
The pay itself was not too bad either considering the way the economy is. Another
job that I thought was very interesting was the
Virtual Concierge position. I feel
that I could do that job very easily considering its just dealing with people.
Another really interesting benefit was that you could simply do that job on
your couch if you wanted. The only thing that would scare me away from the job
was the little pay. Those numbers in this economy would probably not do it.
