An information technology technician sounds a bit like a mouthful. But simply put, they are IT specialists that handle software and hardware repairs and installations. In fact, because so many things around us are digital, an IT specialist can never run out of business. Even most computer repair stores are run by them.
Daily, an information technology technician is involved in activities such as performing software and hardware installation, undertaking hardware repairs, conducting systems upgrades, and running diagnostic testing. Besides that, they also perform backup operations and produce error reports.
Employers require information technology technicians to have a minimum of a bachelor's degree that is STEM-related and have at least two years of relevant work experience. This role earns, on average, $28 per hour and suits individuals who are technically minded and enjoy problem solving.
