| Hey guys, can you guys give me some pros and cons and your personal choices. I am trying to make a important career decision here and I need some input. Assuming you have done some some work and hands on in programing and networking, which field would you go into and why? Please give the pros and cons. | |
|
| Which do you like better? What can you see yourself doing for the rest of your life?
I think both are improving and growing.
In networking you would be up and around more talking to people (dealing with there problems).
Networking lets you have somewhat of a life by meeting more people and learning new things from them.
Programming can be more by yourself and peaceful, but can get long. I am getting more into programming to benefit my webpages.
Can always do both  | |

| This is a very difficult question to answer!
Know programming and actually doing programming is different! Are you good as what you did? Very important to know about yourself and ability.
Need more information. | |

| Yes...I know it's difficult...but what I need is how you analyze your decision if you can pick one base on YOUR interest. Your analysis can let see the pros and cons based on factors that might affect your decision like changes, social life, how much you would make, and anything else that could affect your decision. | |
|
| A programmer can network but a networker can't necessarily program, if you know what I mean. | |
|
| It takes a programmer to really blow up a machine All kidding aside it really does depend on what you want to do the most.
Programmers have lots of quiet time but they have deadlines to meet and if it does not work right then they catch it.
Networking is very hectic and you also catch it when it doesnt work right. | |

Wilbur you still got your sense of humour! Even after killing the netware servers. | |

| I find that programming can ve quite stressful. There are always lots of deadlines to meet, and as always you have the users who refuse to read the manuals that you write complaining and asking you to change things that aren't broken in the first place. You do get a good bit of quiet time, but you have to constantly be working. Also, programming isn't always fun -- learning new languages may be OK, but when the applications you write aren't always that interesting, then sometimes you can get bored easily. As always, it is really good to know HOW to do it, but it can be a drag at times as well. I prefer software/hardware support personally. |
