I'm going to go back to school this fall, and I'm trying to decide something. I'd like to do something working with computers and networking, but I don't neccessarily want to be a computer programmer.
Which would be better for me to major in? -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM)  Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!

QUOTE (Dogmeat @ Mar 29 2006, 11:04 AM) MIS by everything I've seen is just a fancy-shcmancy network admin job.... No. It's not like the guy who designs the car and the guy who works on the car at all. MIS people design software as well, just a different type. CS majors design an OS, a VOIP protocol etc. MIS majors design business software. None of the jobs I have been offered have anything to do with network administration, at all. All of them are Java or .NET jobs in which I would be doing programming and consulting. CS majors can put a VAX system in place but they (generalization) can't create a custom software solution without learning accounting and understanding business processes, that's why we're around. So in other words, you're wrong. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
