Network administration is another booming occupation, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Network administration jobs, BLS reports, should skyrocket 30 percent between 2008 and 2018, due to mobile commerce and information security integration into systems. If you are into helping organizations share and store information, in computer networks, databases, and the Internet, a network administration job may be a good fit for you.

Architects and engineers design computer networks, while network and computer systems administrators install and maintain hardware and software, identify problems, and recommend upgrades. Database administrators, meanwhile, devise ways to store and safeguard data, and computer security specialists monitor breaches and cyber-attacks.
