Big Data is a fairly new term that has become popular to describe the growth , availability and use of information exponentially . For IT professionals , it is important to keep an eye in the volume increase , variety and velocity of data that constitute the Big Data .
In the past the volume of data created a storage problem , but with the cost of inventory falling increasingly , the major problem to be considered is the relevance of the data . The professional must learn to value these files , ignore them or overestimates them .
Data today are showed in many types of formats . Some research shows that about 80 percent of the data of an organization are not numerical , but these data also need to be read , understood and used in the analysis of the company and in the decision making process .
The speed described in Big Data has much more to do with the ability of the professional to receive information, reacting to it quickly and use to your advantage , that with the speed of its arrival. The speed of the facts and information has been increasing , and the difficulty of using this knowledge grows well along with the speed .
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics , about one million jobs related to big data will be created in the United States over the next seven years. Salaries promise to be bigger than IT technician today , as personal development and perception will have to be bigger too .
Thinking about it , the website The Motley Fool has produced a list of seven professions that tend to engage in this wave of 3VS (volume , variety and velocity) and grow significantly in the coming years :

Along with these six areas , so does the market for university professors . The growth of Big Data must take more and more students becoming interested in such means and are the masters who will lead this whole group .
