To get one of the hottest jobs in tech, Deborah Martinez Castellanos didn’t need a bachelor’s degree. She needed a flair with a screwdriver. The 24-year-old works the night shift at a giant data center in Ashburn, Va., part of a fast-growing legion of workers who keep the nation’s internet running. If a server becomes at risk of overheating, alarms ring on her phone and flash on screen. Her job is to fix the problem. Demand for data-center technicians like Martinez Castellanos is booming, as companies such as Microsoft and Google pour billions into data centers to power everything from AI chatbots to the trillions of photos and emails stored in the cloud. They embody the rise of a class of careers that defy traditional blue- and white-collar distinctions: They are deeply tech-infused, often requiring fluency with programming and computerized systems, plus manual dexterity. This growing job category can also make good money. Pay for data technicians—whose tasks range from maintaining and repairing servers to operating heating and cooling systems—jumped by 43% in the past three years and stands at a median $75,100, according to certification and training provider CompTIA. Those with more years of experience can earn six figures. Before starting, Martinez Castellanos attended the Data Center Operations program at Northern Virginia Community College. It offers a one-year certification and two-year degree covering topics from fiber-optic technology to power transmission. She was then hired at $29 an hour at Aligned Data Centers. Two years later, she earns $43 an hour there, around $90,000 a year, working 12-hour shifts three days a week and every other Wednesday. While certifications or associate degrees are helpful, some companies like Equinix also train workers with just a high-school diploma. 🔗 Read more from Te-Ping Chen: https://lnkd.in/gFMWUd9H
