Just be semi good in math, and, have alot of patience and be able to work on a team, or by yourself and expect to spend long hours at your computer! Mostly I know this because I'm attending college to get my bachelors degree in Software Engineering. if you need anything else my yahoo s/n is: darkwarrior0404        and my email is: darkwarrior0404@yahoo.com best of luck to you!

Go back to college and do your GCSE's. If it's what you really want the option is there for you!

If u wish to join govt service, u should go for Computer Science to avoid any misunderstanding. As far as industry are concerened both r equal

since there is a new breed of IT engineers you will not stand a chance against them in any arena unless you pursue higher studies.since you don't seem to have a penchant for programming i'd suggest you to try your hand at data base management or networking.off the two dba would be the best choice as it is the need of the hour.moreover software firms are expecting a shortage of manpower across the nation very soon.

Congratulations on picking such an excellent career path at such a young age!\n\nIn order for you to prepare yourself you need to have a very good understanding of math.  In your math classes always ask "how?", "why?" and "prove it for me."\n\nProgramming (what software engineers do all day) is based on describing the world in terms of math and simple commands.  Also, you should develop problem solving skills.  You will need to understand multiple ways of doing the same thing, and which one is the fastest, or which one is the most efficienty, or which one is the most convient.\n\nMy first programming language was Visual Basic.  I have since learned how to program in C++ (pronounce "see plus plus") , Java, C# (pronounce "see sharp") and a few other programming languages.  Any of those languages would be a good starting point for a beginning programmer.\n\nIf you want to start programming as soon as possible, be sure to get a good beginner's book on any of the previously mentioned programming languages.  Even if you can't write your own programs yet, nothing will beat reading a good book on the programming language you're interested in.\n\nCongratulations and good luck!

Computer Science is a broad field. Which part of it interests you? Design? Programming? Networks? Graphics/animation? Narrow down your interests before researching where to go because some schools may excel at certain areas over others. Find one that seems geared towards the industry that interests you. Contact some of the companies that have positions that interest you and ask where many of their successful recruits obtained their education.

All depends on ur interest... If you are inclined to the IT industry for any reason(money,easeof work,workplace etc..) knidly get into MCA in any decent college...That would solve all your issues... \n\nOther way lets say u do CCNA u would need 2-3 years in the IT industry to launch urself in a good IT firm. Hence go for MCA or MBA whole heartedly (MBA people also have lot of choices)\n\nBut remember do anything but you need to keep urself ahead of a sizeable group ...a bit ahead from the average folks...that would make the difference...

How's your math?  At many colleges, there are different types of computer majors.  A major in computer programming--i.e., computer science--requires as many math classes as it does computer classes, and often physics too.  Some schools have math and comp sci as one department!  On the other hand, there are majors out there like information systems and business computing, which deal more with computer software, databases, web design, and using computers than programming them.  It's a really different focus than a computer science major!  \n\nYou might not know right now what exactly you want to do with computers, and that's fine.  But I recommend looking at yourself and your skills realistically when you start planning your college career.  You'll probably take a math placement test the summer before your first semester--that score will give you an idea of what math classes you can take.  If you place into remedial math, the honest truth is that you'd have to take several semesters of math, getting up to calculus, before you'd even be allowed to start taking programming classes.  It's still possible to major in comp sci, but it'll be a big challenge.  If you place low in math, then it's likely that information systems might be the major that you'll enjoy more and do better in.\n\nI don't know you: you could be taking AP calc right now and rocking it, in which case you have nothing to worry about and can go where your little heart desires.  But when you pick your college, you should look at the requirements for the different computer-related majors and see if the course descriptions look interesting and if the math and science requirements look do-able for you.  Then, your freshman year, take the highest level math you qualify for, take the intro computer science class if you can, and take the intro business computing class.  See what you like best and what you do the best in.

There are too many colleges and universities out there to tell you which school you should attend.  There are many questions that you need to ask yourself when choosing a college (location, size, majors, weather, etc.)  \n\nCollegeboard has a great College Matchmaker program that allows you to pick your preferences and then you'll get a list of all of those that fit your preferences:\n\nhttp://apps.collegeboard.com/search/adv_typeofschool.jsp\n\nHopefully this will give you an idea of what schools you would like.  Also, before you make your final decision, try to visit any school that you are thinking about... the people that work at that particular university will tell you have great it is and the pictures are going to be beautiful.   However, you'll never know if it is the right school for you until you step on the campus.  All campuses do campus tours... you just need to call the Admissions Office at each university that you're interested in.\n\nGood luck!

Support IT is a great career choice with many advances possible. Yes, you will be doing support calls for a time but you have to start somewhere. While doing that you can get more classes under your belt in the field of business or higher computer education such as communication theory or whatever you like. CS BS is a good spring board into whatever it is you're looking to do in computers.\n\nKeep your attitude up and all else will fall into place. Any major engineering company will have a position for you. It may not be exactly what you want but once you're in you can work your way around.

Go for the intel core2 duo processor. I prefer it more than AMD Athlon. I dont have an Athlon but I have seen people regretting their decision to buy AMD. Go for intel as your needs are quite simple. And by the way, which college offers degree in software engineering?

I think every college is different.  You should figure out what college you'd like to go to first.  Once you figure that out, talk to the counselor there.  Usually they have everything set up for you and they'll let you know what you need to do and when you need to do it.

If you have to ask, then you probably won't be a good one.\n\nThe best ones I've met are great because they love what they do, and they have a passion that surpasses their education or experience. As far as what it takes though, experience is a biggie. You should also have a good education (though that's debatable). Personally I think an academic computer science program is a great thing to have gone through, because it (ideally) teaches you things beyond just programming.\n\nThe first step is to become interested in software and making it, not in "what it takes" to be a software engineer. And it's certainly got nothing to do with an MBA.\n\nMBA... psssh, what kind of a question is that anyway? Oh, by the way, I'm a programmer and I have perfect vision, no glasses. Ha.

If you know what college you want to get in, look it up in your college catalog. Each job field has a little description about it.  Or even better go see a Counselor at a college.\nHere's some sites that might me useful:\nhttp://www.anapsid.org/resources/jobs.html\nhttp://www.learndirect-advice.co.uk/featured/anjobs/

Dont Compare the Two. They are two very unique professional courses in finance, CA's usually specialise in auditing and taxation. while a CS's Specializes in Company Law and SEBI Guidelines. Although they have quite a lot in common, it really depends on what you like about the course rather than which course is better. In the present scenario there are more CA's than CS's so taking up CS would be an option cause u would be more in demand. Nothing though should stop u against pursuing CA if u like the course contents. Another option will be to do both the courses, u could get some exemptions while writing the exams.
