Opportunities are endless

Although I would be more than happy running this perspective business that I proposed, it is imperative that you keep your options open, and consider the other opportunities that you may be presented with along the way. SU claims that most students will change their major at least if three times before graduating, therefore knowing about the fields that are available in Information and Technology studies is extremely important.

There are many different IT Department jobs, and within each category, many opportunities to explore. For instance, in the Systems Development and Programing field, there are opportunities for one to obtain a degree and/or become a computer games designer, a computer scientist, a technical lead, and a web software developer. I would be interested in the department of Training, to become a corporate trainer in which you can go into different corporations and teach employees how to use software, design and develop systems to increase efficiency of their staff, all with a bachelor's degree. In Technical Services, there are opportunities for fields to intertwine as forensic scientists are entering the field of IT to become "Digital Forensic Scientists." This line of work entails collecting evidence found on computers and sometimes, on "destroyed" hardware's.

Even if you are in a computer-based profession, you must be able to keep yourself on the cutting edge. You must seek ways that will keep you intune with the trends and develop new skills as the technology changes. Some ways that you can do so are through personal networks, professional growth and continuing education activities and websites, and with certifications. Certifications can be very beneficial as some companies may offer benefits to those employees that are certified since they are higher valued employees. Plus, you can gain confidence within your company that they will continue to grow in skill and enusre job security. Either way, I would be interested in gaining a certification to set yourself aside and even above your competitors when applying for jobs as well.

Well, there it is! My last blog for a while! Thank you for an enjoyable semester!!!
