Research reveals IT sector too 'boring' for students
New research exploring the career intentions of undergraduates reveals that the main reason preventing students from entering the IT sector is their perception that working in IT would be boring.
The study, Do undergraduates want a career in IT?, conducted by CRAC, is based on nearly 2,000 responses from undergraduates. Although the majority consider the IT sector to have a bright future with good prospects, over 60% cited boring work as the main reason they would not join the sector. The study also explores the main influences on career choice and the differences in the choices and motivations of male and female students.

CRAC Development Director, Robin Mellors-Bourne, welcomed the research:
'If the UK IT sector wants to remain competitive it needs to harness the best talent. It is already doing a lot right but we have identified a few key areas in which some decisive change could be really effective'.
