Midlands Business Journal, October 21, 2011

Most businesses have some type of high-tech equipment these days, and running it and keeping it up-to-date takes staffing. Security engineers, database administrators, and developers, specifically mobile, java, and NET, are sought-after-employees. Companies are willing to pay well-experienced professionals up to and sometimes more than $85,000 annually for all those positions, said Gabe Romero, branch manager of the Aureus Group Systems Division in Omaha. Romero said that those interested in technology shouldn’t just follow the hottest trends. They should follow their own interests. “Once you find your calling, always update your technical skills and be prepared to enhance or change your direction of the technology is changing,” he said. A Bachelor’s degree is a plus in many of these jobs, but the majority of these positions are looking for hands-on work experience and/or specific technology education. This includes specialty schools and technical certifications, Romero added.
