Certifications? 4 Year Degree? Both?!
![]() |
My degree is in CIS with programming, but i found programming a beat down. Totally. For me anyway it was zero fun and so far removed from anything that means something - which for me it meant i needed toget into something different which ended up being IT security which isn't much better but it is somewhat better (for me). I'm nearly through with the course work to be a sports chiropractor/rehab specialist and i can't wait to get out of the software side of IT completely. I had been a hardware guy years before (and still am) and as far as computing goes hadware is where it's at for me. It's the only thing that's actually fun to do with computers really - so i still build and repair systems and probably will always do that. It's wierd how when i started in IT all i wanted to do was get a CIS with progamming because everybody else was doing it (that wanted to be professionals), but as time went by, and gaming became more mainstream i actually got into game programming a bit in Austin TX and enjoyed that, but hadware is what drives everything IT - even the progamming in the end and i like working with my hands and seeing tangible results (whihc i why i also like carpentry-woodworking).
So i think a 4 year degree is a great thing to have it can open doors that were not previously open, but be careful that you don't major in something that you deep down don't like (i didn't really like programming at all it's just what all my techie nerd friends were doing).
