| I'm considering going back to school for a BSIT degree. I already have an AA degree in electronics and I am a certified MCP. Is BSIT the degree I need to find a job in networking or should I consider pursuing a different route?
Thank you. | |

| Hi, everyone,
The above message was posted by my husband. Just want to drop a note to clarify so it will not confuse anyone who had been so helpful to my previous thread.
By the way, I want to thank Webmaster and every member, you make this website great. | |

| It depends on what the degree program offers and what you want to do. "IT" can mean a lot of things . . . programming, network support, hardware, etc. Usually college degrees in IT are mainly programming classes, which are great if you want to develop applications, but if you want to do network support, Electrical Engineering may be a better choice. Find out the details of the degree program and see if they match your goals. | |

| Randy is right on. It depends totally on the school and the way they shape their program. Some progressive schools are now offering degrees in "network technology". A popular school here in my area has a very nice "computer engineering" program. Traditionally though, CS and IT tend more towards programmers. Bottom line is to check out the classes involved and see if there is not a program that offers a concentration in your area of interest. |
