Web Developers are In Demand

Web developer jobs are growing, thanks to a salary of about $30 dollars an hour and the fact that it doesn’t always require a bachelor’s degree. Companies are unable to hire all the employees necessary to meet the requests for workers.

College programs are finding it difficult to train their students for jobs in the web and mobile development field because these fields are changing too quickly. “If somebody wants to get into this job, it just doesn’t make sense to get a college degree” said Judi Wunderlich, co-founder of WunderLand, a Chicago recruiting firm that specializes in digital, marketing and creative jobs. Workers in this field are mostly self-trained, showing what they can do, rather than what they have learned.
