Computer Jobs: How To Figure Out What Your Career Specialty
Should Be Submitted By: Chris Bryant Making the decision to
pursue a computer career is a great choice. I can vouch for
that personally -it's the most important career decision I
have ever made. Having said that, I know from experience that
it can be hard to decide which computer job to pursue! Many
of you are attending or thinking of attending a tech school
such as ITT Tech or ECPI, and once you get started you may
be overwhelmed at the number of fields you can enter from
there.Should you specialize in Microsoft networking software,
or email programs, or Novell, or Cisco, or Linux, or network
security, or voice over IP, or….? The list goes on and on.
I faced a similar decision when I attended a computer school.
I took some programming classes, and while they helped me
understand computer logic, it just wasn't what I wanted to
do for a living. Then I took a networking class and I just
knew that's what I wanted to do.
Here's the key - don't select a field just because it's considered
"hot". There was a particular technology that was
hot when I attended school, and you could make a million dollars
a week, etc. I took a class in that technology and it just
didn't grab me, so I moved to a networking class and the rest
is history.I'm not saying every day on any job is going to
be fun, but I will say that if you gotta work, you might as
well enjoy it. When attending a computer school, take a wide
variety of classes and find out what you really enjoy doing.
Once you figure that out,
let nothing stand in your way, get as much hands-on training
as you can, and you're well on your way to a satisfying information
technology career. Besides, when you do what you love, the
money always follows.About the Author:Chris Bryant, CCIE #12933,
