Have you ever wanted to be like Steve Jobs of Apple or Bill Gate of Microsoft; all you need is just few steps away. Information technology has become more than a profession but more like a way of life, going extra mile than the day-to-day usage of ICT gadgets and software can actually put some extra cash in your pocket and even crave a space for you among the icons in technology. Here five steps that will get you to that place;
Choose your area of interest: As you look around you, you will agree with me that almost everything is about technology, from the processed food you eat, to the clothes you wear, the gadgets you use, etc. it will actually do you good to take your time, sit and think of the aspect of technology you will want to venture into, either programming, web development, mobile apps, graphics networking, hardware, database or database. If you are that kind person that wants to be jack of all trade, you can actually take them one after the other, doing this will give you more opportunity to become focused and determined.
Get required tools and tutorials: I don’t think have ever seen a fisherman going to the river without his fishing net or hook except if he’s going for other business at the river. Getting yourself the required tool is one of the major aspect of technology and the number one tool is working personal computer (PC) with the right configuration for the area of interest. You will also need to gather materials(tutorials) for the journey at hand, there are lots of tutorials on the internet, be it videos or eBooks and let Google be your friend at the moment; gather as much as you can.
Learn from professionals and be updated: It is always good to see someone ahead of you whenever you are going through tough times, it gives encouragement and hope, knowing fully that you will get there one day. Choose professionals from that area of expertise, learn from them, watch their video tutorials, and ask questions. You can even go further in paying these people to get materials from them or get trained by them; nothing good comes free, you know! Another important step here is getting updated day by day either by joining good ICT forums or visiting websites to get news on ICT.
Practice and test your knowledge: The main purpose of acquiring knowledge is for its usage when needed, after watching and reading through your materials, you will need a lot of practice to become that actual person you dream to be, You can join competitions, help a friend, get exercises online, practice again, study and practice more.
Acquire Experience: Experience is more like the bedrock of ICT because you will never be sure you can do it until you have done it (over and over again). Get a job, at this stage, you don’t have to be money conscious, acquire experience and gather your portfolio, keep record of every job you do and be professional in dealings. As you are acquiring experience, you will be exposed to your weakness, try to work on them.

Conclusively: Get certified! There are international certificates for every area of interest in ICT. Remember! Your certificate or your reputation may get a job but knowledge will keep you there. So take this five steps, become proficient in your field and aim for your certificates.
