Characteristics of a Good Young Information Technology Professional
Last week, I wrote a post about what High School Classes would enrich young people thinking of pursuing careers in the Information Technology fields. Today, I follow that up.
There are certain characteristics in young people, that I believe, adults can be on the look-out for to indicate that they might have an aptitude for success as an Information Technology Professional. This list is my own, personal opinions on what those traits are:
- Math Prowess
- Analytical Thinking
- Engineering interest over Science
- Creativity
- Mechanically inclined
- Tinkerer
- Stubbornness
- Perseverance
- Introversion
- Independence
- Interest in Computers and Networking
I plan on elaborating on these items in future posts.
Do you agree or disagree with this list? Do you have any to add? Please comment below.

Hey, you should have put Hackers 2: Operation Takedown on your poll! It’s far superior to the first or the third (which sucked).
Nice post as well, I think I’d agree with a lot of it.
