Cap/ist -> bit

duckyy

Hi, I am an 18 year old student attending college in a 4 month course that will allow me to enter the two year program. I will be finishing it this month.

The upcoming program is called Business Information Technology (a mix of computer analyst programmer and information systems technology). A two year program.

I was just wondering if I am taking the right route here in order to be in the information technology field.

Taken from the website:

"Graduates will receive the following diplomas:

•Application Development: Computer Analyst/Programmer diploma
•Database Management: IST – Database Management diploma
•Network Management: IST – Network Management diploma
•Web Development: IST – Web Development diploma

These diplomas are currently granted in the Computer Analyst/Programmer and Information Systems Technology programs. "

I believe I will receive one of which I choose to study. I am planning to enter either networking or application development.

Advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

While you are pursuing your studies you'll want to do a few things:
1) If you take a class covering material for a cert, take the cert test and get the cert.
2) Get experience while getting your education; co-op, internship, volunteer, work study, or try to get a help-desk job somewhere
3) Decide between the 2 (networking, app development), research to make your choice.
Good luck in the future, you wont regret the work you put into furthering your education.
