The term applies to such positions as software developer, system administrator, network administrator, database administrator, support specialist and technical writer.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics describes an IT specialist as a “trained professional who provides information technology support” for organizations. Informational technology specialists analyze requirements, develop and test software, perform computer tasks and troubleshoot problems. The term applies to such positions as software developer, system administrator, network administrator, database administrator, support specialist and technical writer.

Software Developers

Software developers plan and create two types of software: systems, which allow computer hardware to function, and applications, which perform user tasks such as word processing, database management and three-dimensional design. Though they often give their designs to programmers for actual coding, developers must also know software languages in case they must code on their own. They also test and document their creations to ensure usability. The Bureau of Labor Statistics states that applications software developers averaged $44.27 per hour or $92,080 per year as of May 2011. Systems software developers earned a mean $48.28 per hour or $100,420 per year.
