Computer-related degrees, can someone give advice between two? |
Currently I am attending college for a computer degree. I am in the intitial phase of classes and am thinking about changing the degree somewhat. The current degree I am taking is Computer Information Systems, and I am starting to struggle with the amount of programming involved, although I could probably push myself through it with lower GPA. So what I am considering is the Computer Network Administration degree. However, I'm worried that a network admin degree may somewhat limit my job qualification in the field. Is this a somewhat accurate asumption? Would I be making a sacrifice, possibly pay-wise, by choosing this degree? I would love to hear advice from those with similar degrees, and where your degree has taken you. My advice to you is to go for any computer degree. These days employers do not care what type of computer degree you have, as long as you have one. You can easily enter any career you want. It's all about the knowledge, aptitude and experience. I personally have a B.S. in Computer Science. This degree allows me to get any technical job. I have been a technical writer, I.T. support, tech trainer, tech writer, web developer. I also wouldn't worry about GPA, as long as you pass. It's a misnomer that employers care about your GPA. For your interest, I would stick to a computer field that interests you. There is no point in learning something that you are not interested in. CIS and CNA is not going to affect your salary. All technical jobs pay well. Unless you are planning on making six-figures, any technical degree will do. Programming is more versatile than Network Administration. You can program in the video game, web applications, desktop applications....it's pretty much endless. All Industries have its own boom... Whatever U do.....U should be the king.... I'm graduating with a BS degree in Computer Science. I can tell you that computer related degrees are hot right now. Also, I am pretty proficient in programming, but I know nothing about network administration (and for the most part hate doing anything related to it). I know a lot of people like me... so that might be in your benefit. As long as your willing to put in the effort, Network Administrators make some big change. check the below link its good http://workathomeandearnmoney.blogspot.c... . |
