Career prospect starts with finding out what you are happy doing, what you enjoy doing best or what you do best. Beyond that, there is the question of how much you earn for doing what you do. One of the most important question every person askes is ,Do I get paid for doing what I love doing or do I get paid for working even though I don’t like it?
Beyond the love for what you know how to do, career choices are influenced by different factors some of which embrace training and education, skills and abilities, interest and personality type, life roles, role models, social and economic conditions and sometimes by childhood fantasies.
It’s no secret that the tech industry has some of the best-paying jobs presently available in Zimbabwe, but certain positions are not only offering good wages, they’re also reinforced by considerable growth, according to data provided to Techunzipped by job search site CVPeopleAfrica.
But there is no denying that one of the most important factors not mentioned here is the paying ability of a particular career.
Money isn’t everything. At least, that’s what our moms used to tell us when they didn’t give us our allowance. But in the professional world, salary goes a long way in choosing a career path to a particular company.
At the top of the list? Three occupations with average salaries that actually clear four figures: Project Manager, Network Manager, and Group IT Manager, which pay salaries that range from just over $2500 to $4000 per month.
Software Engineer and Java Developer did not make it into the top ten. Each pays an average salary of more than $900 and has seen no increase in the past year’s growth in posting over the past year.
