Many people who begin their IT careers as software coders eventually move on
to other IT related jobs. Many coders, for example, eventually become
systems analysts.
Others abandon the technical side of systems development and move into
business analysis.
A good number of software developers become IT project managers while others
are absorbed into the core business.
For many people, software coding is viewed as an entry position into IT.
Many people, however, thoroughly love the challenge of architecting
sophisticated software solutions. These people make software coding
their lifelong career and can earn a high income doing what they love most.
