IT (Information Technology) Career Path Guideline

Based on my experience in IT, I'd like to give a guideline on which career paths you may choose. I made this presentation as the part of my IT series cause I've had many chances to see people who wanna know which jobs in IT are suitable for them.

I hope my guideline can give some help for IT colleques in other countries as well as in Korea.

Best Regds,

I have an accounting background, and a degree in accounting information systems, but no real hands on IT experience. I want to pure a career as an IT auditor. What certs would you recommend I begin with?

[soalike]

@marvinhead82 CISA (Certified Information Setems Auditior) can be the first cetification you can begin with.

I loveee computers but I'm not sure which degree to go for! I want to help troubleshoot and ba able to repair as well. But I dont want to build computers. Just learn to help troubleshoot and fix them. & also whats the difference between information technology and information science?

[soalike]

@uniquebaybee10 Departments related with computer science would be beneficial to your work. While IT is all about rendering data, information, or knowledge via any media distribution mechanism, IS is a science that studys methods on creating, transferring and searching information. Regds,

What degree and job title would I look for if I want to be the guy that goes out into the office/cubicle and troubleshoot, repair, and or upgrade computer hardware/software? I don't want to work behind the scenes, and I don't want to walk people through troubleshooting over the phone. I want to be out with my hands on the computer and helping people. I know i'll obviously need the A+ and other many certs, but what degree track would I choose at a college, and what is the job tittle? Thanks!

@matrix86 you could be a SE(system engineer or software engineer) for enterprise systems. SE usually does works you want to do. As far as I knew, you should have knowledge and understanding on computer architecture, operating systems (e.g.: LINUX, UNIX, AIX, Windows, etc.), programming languages, database, networking, and so on. Therefore, I recommend you choose a major related in computer science, information engineering, system engineering, etc. Regds,

Programming is NOT taught in school, most of what you learn in school is really not that valuable, the credential of a BA or MA is very valuable. Find out what the 15% of your job is that is most valuable to your manager and concentrate on that, get to know everyone you can. Even in IT your personal-political skills are (unfortunately) more important than your technical skills (not saying tech skills aren't important, but w/o political skills you'll get stuck). Certification is political.

@MessageInBlood1 I know that what you're saying used to be true, it may be true in some areas, however I haven't seen it in my area since 2006-2007). Certifications are very valuable, but having a four year degree (regardless of your actual skills) will open a lot of doors for you. By all means, get the two year degree first so you can work your way through the 4 year degree one. If you can't go to a top 10 school, go to the least expensive (in time-effort and money) school you can go to to.
