I am starting school soon have a few questions about computer related jobs? |
I live in San Diego and i am 24/m i am going back to school @ the end of the month for i guess it is a toss up right now between COMPUTER INFORMATION SYSTEMS (CIS) OR COMPUTER NETWORKS (CN) my questions are everything i can ask my counseler but i think she just cares about her kick back she gets from signing me up Q#1-- is there a good job market in either of these fields? Q#2-does no expierence mean no job with in what i went to school for after graduation--they say there placment rate is 95% but is that true? Q#3 i looked on salery.com to see what the average income was for either of these and they do not have an option of CIS so the closest option was I.T. then a ton of options came up i guessed on one and it said like 30-40k between these 2 jobs who makes more money? Q#4 is an AS good enough Q#5 it will be hard to find a job in any field str8 out of school with no expierence so what else can i do to help my chances 2 yrs from now? besides the obvious (intern) e.murray@cox.net There is some regionality to what skills are wanted in which part of the country for IS. An AS can be good enough and may even earn you six figures down the road if you're in the right place at the right time. The way up will depend on how well you can work with diverse personalities and provide the right quality at the right time for the right cost. I suggest getting a summary of placements by year, position, and company over the last five years and see how it tallies. Each school has strengths and weaknesses so see if you like the firms that have the most placements. If you contact them now, you may even find you can get a modest position in operations that conforms to your school schedule. Don't look for the intern spot unless you are offered one and learn to network with anyone that can be of help, most likely the instructors in your best courses. The IT market continues to be pressured by outsourcing overseas and H1B at home. Conversely, computer networking is in demand as long as businesses are enjoying growth and there are new technologies to employ. I hope this helps. It comes from 30 years experience in IT. |
