Three-quarters of IT professionals would recommend an IT career to their children,a survey has shown.

Despite the current financial climate, IT professionals are positive about the technology industry and their immediate future in it, with 69% of 1,000 respondents to an IT-sector survey saying their company's position in the market was very secure or somewhat secure.

In addition to affirming their own decision to work in technology, 75% would recommend a career in IT to a child.

The research was undertaken by online recruitment firm The IT Job Board and recruitment marketing agency Barkers.

The survey also found that 86% of IT professionals expected to change jobs voluntarily in the next three years.
