| In an earlier post I was considering teachigbut I recently found out my school system will not be hiring non certified teachers anymore . In the past you could teach on a provisional license. The time it would take me to get fully certified I can easily go and get a masters degree. Which leads me to this question.
Which one looks the best:MBA with emphasis in IT or M.S in IT with emphasis on IT security.
When I was first getting into IT I knew it wouldnt be easy . I was interested in project management and net security from the start.
My undergrad degree is in economics and I still watch CNBC and other business channels to keep my head in the business world but I have come to really like the tech side of things.
I have about five years total and I am at a crossroads in my career. I dont want to be doing tech support forever. It is just that i dont want to make a wrong move and end up at a dead end.
Sorry for babbling just fishing for info. | |

Teach For America allows non-certified (but B.S.'d) people to teach. Not sure about MBA, my Master's was in EE. | |

| An MBA is much better than M.S if you are looking at going for the management route. | |

| I think an MBA is more versatile. You can use it to leverage yourself into a management position. Or if you get sick of IT, it will look good for a number of business opportunities.
If you want to teach, you can locate New Horizons if they have one in your area. They are a computer training company. They start their tainers out teaching software application classes. You move up the pay scale as you teach higher level IT classes (i.e. MCSE and/or CCNA).
Good luck with whatever you decide! |
