How good is a vocational school for Information Technology?
It's better than nothing but it's not as good as the "real thing." For starters, the assumption is that anyone who goes to a vo-tech school lacks the intellectual horsepower to make it through a real university. This is not an unfair view. Vo-tech schools tend to admit just about anybody and because they tend to admit just about anybody, these schools tend to dumb down their curricula so that just about anybody can graduate. Vo-tech schools also, typically, don't do research and don't have large budgets to attract quality faculty. In the IT field specifically, the biggest issue I see is that most vo-tech schools tend to focus in on specific technologies and software packages (usually ones that have vendor certification programs built around them). There are two problems with this approach: First, your information is outdated the day the next version of that software comes out. Second, and far more importantly, no amount of training in button pushing can teach you the stuff you really need to know; namely, the theory of information systems and how to best manage and design them. All that having been said, it's not a bad route overall. You can finish quickly, get your foot in the door and work your way up from the inside. Once you've been in the field for 5-10 years (depending on the type of experience you're getting), not having a degree will become irrelevant.
Is an information technology degree worth it?
This ultimately depends on your goals and the university from which you earn your degree.Some IT programs are basically web development degrees – which mainly offer courses pertaining to web page and web application development – while others tend to be mote pertinent to MIS or a business degree. It is always a good idea to check the program's coursework first.To provide a rebuttal to the answer about an IT degree not meeting the requirements of system engineers, this once again depends on the degree. My university is actually a primary source of recruitment for a few major companies who are searching for systems engineers. This is because the IT program at my university is comprised of networking classes, an infrastructure class, database classes, web development classes, security classes, a programming series, a capstone project, a mandatory internship, and a specialization.I did find out, however, that a lot of IT degrees are synonymous with MIS degrees, and I have had to explain that my program of study is actually offered through the College of Engineering and Information Technology and is actually closer to an engineering degree.If you complete a similar IT program with a variety of courses, you will be more than capable of performing as a system engineer or database administrator or security analyst or network administrator or anything else you would like. These courses will prepare you to specialize in an area later on, and if you find you do not like that field, you will be able to transition easily into another field.With that being said, there are some careers to which a computer science degree is clearly tailored. If you want to be a software engineer, a game developer, or something along those lines, then I strongly recommend pursuing a degree in computer science. If you want to be a network or database administrator or a data scientist, however, a good information technology program will more than prepare you.
What do you call a person with an Information Technology Bachelor?
My college offered two tracks for computer science, computer science study (with math heavy classes) and information technology (less math more business courses). If you got your degree in computer science you were a Programmer, if you got an Information technology degree you were deemed an IT professional.
Is Keiser University a good Information Technology school?
One lesson in life - people who make a decision spend a lot of time talking-up that decision. That includes converts to religion, changes in life-style and health practices, and students who drop out of public education and transfer over to a much much more expensive private school. You need to recognize the validity of these sources. If you are in Ft. Lauderdale, Broward CC offers an extensive IT program. http://www.broward.edu/academics/program... It will be much less expensive than Keiser and your coursework will transfer to FAU or other 4 year school if you decide to go after a Bachelors degree. Here is the Broward tuition and fee schedule: http://www.broward.edu/tuition/Pages/def... For Keiser: https://www.keiseruniversity.edu/heoa/pd...
Can I become a software engineer with a Information Technology degree?
The answer is a resounding, 100%, yes. How do I know? Well, the main reason is that I have no degree at all, and I've had a going on 25yr career, in all manner of IT, computer science, and software development roles. I have been a network admin. I have been a software developer. I have been an “internet/web” developer. I have been an IT manager. I have been a program manager, a project manager, a software development manager, a lead developer, an Engineering & Technology Manager, a Director of Systems Management (otherwise known as Director of Technology), and way way back starting my career (far enough back I dont even bother keeping them on my resume or LinkedIn profiles) I was even a help desk tech for a major corporation and a network tech who built pcs, servers, and networks.So, my question to you, is what do you want to do? ;) That's honestly what it comes down to. Really. I can say that with every ounce of confidence and the life story to back it up. Your life story will be driven by what you want to apply yourself to, not what some piece of paper from a school says. That paper will be helpful for you, to get your foot in the door, it shows that you are capable of perseverance and learning, but what you decide to apply yourself to is up to you :)
I am an electronics and communication engineer graduate. It's been over a year, and I haven't found any job. Some said to do Java, and I'll get a job. I have also completed that, but still no job. I'm frustrated and I don't know what to do next. What can I do next?
Thanks for A2A.You have many options but you need two things for any of the following: perseverance and hard work. I will share what happened with me and my friends.1) Many of my friends did B. Tech. in ECE and did not got a job immediately, nut they did not loose courage. They went to places like Delhi and Bangalore where you can find many job advertisements everyday. Walk-in interviews are very common. They got the job within 6 months. These people simultaneously enrolled in training for java or vhdl.2) Some of them stayed back at home and prepared for a specific job (a few of the jobs not related to ECE) and cracked it within a year. This includes vacancies in public sector or research institutes like ONGC, BHEL, CSIR, ISRO as well as many banks.3) A few others applied for jobs advertised on (Jobs: Search Jobs In India, Govt Jobs, Job Vacancies & Freshers Jobs Online) * or similar portals. 4) A few others (including me) appeared for GATE either in 4th year or after completing degree and got admission to M. Tech. programme. The stipend is good and if you have a predilection for research no other option can be better.Right now I can't think of any other option but I'm sure there must be. I totally understand that staying at home after getting the degree is boring and kind of embarrassing, but rather than thinking about it better to use time constructively for our better future. Remember, everyone gets a job if one persists long enough.*Disclaimer: I am not endorsing the job portal directed above. It was just an example where you should search for jobs and not pay them money or submit resume.
If I don't have tech-involved degree, how much will it affect my career in the technology industry?
This is how I look at it. Certifications can work but you are better off with a degree. If you are really good, most employers will take you anyway but you will have trouble with promotions and advancement. You know Bill Gates did not start off with a degree. He just was/is really good at what he does/did. Just saying. In today’s world because competition is high, I would get a degree.Now here is a caveat: If you happen to have a degree in some thing else by chance, you can use transferable skills aspect. That works really well. You need a professional CV and resume writer for that.Hope that helps, Danh. Look, I have a sense you will do fine. I can just feel it.
I’m an IT graduate, but I don't know anything about my field. Now I need a job urgently. What should I do, and what are the job options for me?
You’ll need to be more specific about your degree, and your geographic location, to ascertain your best options. However, the IT field demands for a variety of skills.Programming. The most obvious option, some even claim programming is more important than learning to speak! Learn to code.Business Analysis. Business Analysts enable IT related business change and employ a plethora of soft and technical skills across integrated project delivery.Project / Technical Manager. You facilitate the delivery of IT projects as a project / programme manager taking advantage of your knowledge of the field.Service Delivery. Enable effective and smooth delivery of software and services to business ensuring it meets the standards set out by the business and expectations of the end user.Scrum Master. Agile delivery of projects is increasingly becoming a popular trend for business and IT. The Scrum Master facilitates and motivates the delivery team to achieve its goal. You can also be a Product Owner if you know enough about the Vision of the business and what it wants to achieve through IT enabled business change.These are the five areas that I am closely related with, and have experience, having been in the field of IT for over six years working in client facing roles with FTSE100 clientele across UK & Europe. I’m sure others can add a lot more options for you.All the best!
