Image result for These Computer Skills Can Fetch You $100,000+ PER MONTHJob Site, Dice.com published a 2015 Salary Survey of the highest paying Tech jobs in the world, they surveyed a total of 23,470 IT Professionals.  I am not if Nigerians were taken account off.  In my opinion, if you really love Technology, and you are planning on starting your career soon, you should not be looking at following the crowd but if all you want is a decent pay consider going for a course that would be needed in the future when Technology finally takes over everything.

Dice decided to share this survey with everyone, however we all know that Skills doesn’t really lead to getting a good job especially in a country like Nigeria, but it is a stepping stone and it gives you an edge over others. Also, it is not only about having these skills, you must apply these skills.
