I graduated with a Diploma in Information Technology.
Not from a four-year Computer Science program.
Not with a perfect roadmap.
Not knowing exactly where it would take me.
I thought I'd end up fixing computers.
Maybe building websites.
Maybe writing code.
Turns out...
Tech is a lot bigger than that.
I started in technical support.
Today, I work with startup founders.
I organize innovation programs.
Design creatives.
Build digital solutions.
Coordinate events.
Support entrepreneurs.
And somehow, all of those things still fall under "working in tech."
Here's my take for 2026:
If you're waiting until you know everything before starting your tech career...
You'll be waiting forever.
The industry changes too fast.
Your first job won't define you.
Your degree won't limit you.
The projects you build, the problems you solve, and the opportunities you say "yes" to will teach you far more than any curriculum ever could.
So, what's the best way to start a career in tech?
It depends...
Not on what course you took—
