My suggestion is not to take up either. If you're not in management it don't really help you in any way. I would rather you take up specialized courses like PMP/CISA/CISSM Regards, Edmund Ng CEO, Founder Infinique Technologies http://www.infiniquetech.com http://www.itjobs.com.sg http://www.unemployment.com.sg http://www.click-flipper.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SG_IT_Jobs http://www.purchaseresume.com ***This is my signature.

The answer would depend on what you want to do in the future. If you want to stay in strictly technical roles, then - as the previous answer suggested - professional certification is the better investment. However, if you intend to move out of technical roles and move into management and business oriented opportunities, then MBA or MISM could help you. If you are inclined to steer away from technical roles and want to stay within IT industry/specialty, then MISM is a better choice and certainly with Carnegie Mellon's good reputation. If you are considering going into other industries, then MBA would be more suitable. Best wishes. (From my own experience as someone who has both MBA and MS in CS)

Balance work experience with an education. Too much experience or too much education is not good. Work on you MBA at night or on the weekends while maintaining work experience.
2
Are you leaning toward an accounting or financial analysis type of career or toward an IT type of career? Of course one does not need to be exclusive of the other. Especially in a small company environment.
3
First, you need to decide whether or not "systems" is the work you want to do. It does not matter if you decide to work for a consulting firm or not. A number of consulting firms have "systems" positions. Second, if you decide that "systems" is the work you want to do then I would encourage you to strongly consider the MIS degree program. However, if you want to survey the landscape of business opportunities outside of "systems" work, then I would highly encourage you to look into MBA programs. Carnegie Mellon is a great place for either program. Finally, if you are really unsure, then investigate both opportunities and see if you can combine the two. Usually, there will be classes that overlap so you might need to study the course offerings to get a sense of the how the programs vary. I would also encourage you to visit both programs, talk to students and learn more about the career counseling services offered for graduates of each program. Good luck! - Al

An internship is excellent experience. Go for it!

First of all you may not like what I have to say but if you are going to post something on the Internet make sure and use spell check and think about things like making sure your I's are capitalized. Your post does not speak well for you. In answer to your question I would suggest 1. You keep looking for a job.and an internship at the same time. 2. If a job comes up take it. 3. If a job does not come up but an internship does and it is one that will help you advance your career. Take it. Best of luck.
3
By all means YES. The professors love you. It goes on your record and leads to many paid opportunities. Take it.

Why leave the comfort of your own home? Hey listen companies now are becoming some what more picky with whom they want to hire. It's sad because determined smart people like yourself are just trying to make it in this world. I got tired of trying to find a job and after submitting 50 plus applications online I gave up. I started to focus more attention on finding position where I am able to make a income from home and concentrate on my degree. When I stumbled on one site I signed up for the free newsletter for top companies looking for employees from home. I got signed up right away and the rest is now history! http://www.productsupplycenter.com/web253661

Software engineers typically make more than game programmers, and game programming jobs are a lot harder to come by. However, within the game industry at least, online university programs are *not* respected at all. They’re a complete waste of time and money. You’re much better off going to a regular four year college, or starting out at a community college and then transferring to a four year college. No online university program will prepare you to be a game programmer.

Has anybody used DeVry's business school's (Keller) career services
Has anybody used DeVry's business school's (Keller) career services?
How is it? Does it actually produce results? I'm looking at obtaining the Masters of Information Systems Management (MISM), and anybody with any input would be appreciated.

Devry is not AACSB accredited, which is important re: a grad school in management. Certain employers won't hire out of schools that aren't AACSB accredited. Devry is also a for-profit university, rather than a traditional not-for-profit. A lot of employers will not hire out of for-profit unis. Devry also has a crap reputation with employers. The reputation of the place you get your grad degree can make or break your career. It's not necessarily the case that you need to go to MIT, but you *do* need to go someplace reputable. If you have other options, I'd strongly recommend you take them rather than going to Devry. Your local state college would be a better resource for you - more reputable, and less expensive.

What is better Accounting or Computer Information Systems
What is better Accounting or Computer Information Systems?
I want to get the opinion of everyone on here. I wanted to get a Bachelors degree in Accounting or CIS. I enjoy both of them. I am just concerned with getting a job afterward and making a good amount of money. Maybe like close to 6 figures. If I went for my Accounting I would get my Bachelors and Masters and then sit for the CPA. If I did CIS I would get my Bachelors then Masters. Since I enjoy both of them I figure why not pick the one that will make me money and I will be able to get a job in. Which one do you think would be a good pick and how far could you go with both of them. I thought about double majoring in both of them. I don't know a little help. If you think CIS would that be hard to learn online?

Having gone through what you are going through I can only recommend that you do both (double major). Why? Do what you love because you only live once, but always have a backup plan. Both will continue to be relevant for many years unless we have some kind of crazy zombie apocalypse or something. Then accounting would be relevant. But seriously, accounting is very unimaginative - you do a lot of bean counting, but it is a necessary skill today. CIS is creative. You get to build things, innovate, and discover. And computer stuff is more and more relevant everyday. Together, both give you more career options than just one. So I say pursue both.

Technology - 3 Answers Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions : 1 At the bachelor level I see AIS as getting you something closer to a normal accounting job, and CIS as getting you a job in various other areas like med tech, management in general, but at the masters level they both qualify you for jobs in general business such as project leader for industries, etc. 2 A CPA is where the big money is, if you're good at your craft. Sr. Software Engineer / Developer / Programmer maxed out at $94,000 last year. A CPA can become a comptroller or a chief financial officer which maxed at about $164,000 last year. 3 As I know Computer Information Systems degree and Accounting both are good but the challenging job is IT and the accounting is that where you can earn money with a secure job. IT is also secure job but currently many people are doing the degree course so companies are flooded with the employees where still accountant job are available so you can choose a challenge or choose a job with peace. |
