The jobs you see advertised are not real.  If you had exactly the right amount of experience you still wouldn't be hired.  There are very few jobs in the US for computer people.  With over half a million experienced unemployed computer people out there, you're chances are slim to none at finding a CS job.\n\nCompanies routinely post fake jobs in order to claim to congress that "No American is Willing to do the Job."  The get thousands of resumes, but nobody actually gets hired.  Then they petition congress to raise the H-1B cap so that they can get CS work done for less than minimum wage.\n\nSomebody should have told you this before you got through college.  Its simply not fair to you.

It depends on what field you want to go into. To start with you will have to take some general courses, English, Math, & History. Different colleges offer different degrees. If you are interested in Business, Psychology, Teaching, Nursing, Computers, etc. there is a lot of information on Columbia College's web site. It's www.ccis.edu.

That's a good question.  I am an applied information technology student and have friends who are studying Management information systems.  I think that Information systems refers to the solutions already put in place to make work easier and improve efficiency.  For instance an MIS major isn't expected to re-invent the wheel when they join an IT department.  On the other hand information technology teaches you about computing from a practical and vantage point of view.  You see the problems and suggest solutions.  Solutions that you will implement and someone with a background in information systems will take over and work on daily.  For instance, a bus company like greyhound writes tickets by hand.  the information technology guy says no we should use a database, he designs and implements it and then an information system worker comes in to maintain and do the daily activities the database needs to function.\n\nI hope this answers your question.

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.

I thought you need to complete A level (in British system), then go for an undergraduate degree?

Business - Administration, Management, whatever. While an Information Systems degree will get you big bucks down the road, a Business degree on your resume will draw attention from just about any type of employer.

You have the cross experience, get yourself into a company that will train you in SAP or train yourself through nightschool...\n\nthen apply\n\ngood luck!!

What kind of jobs are you applying for? Grads with MIS degree usually are not as competitive as grads with engineering or computer science degrees (not you personally, but the programs themselves). So if you are applyign for developer or programmer positions, it'll be more competitive. \n\nIf you just lack experience, you can try internships or positions in IT departments. Companies like Intel, HP, and other large corporations have large IT departments which will give you exposure to IT-related work. From there, you can pick up experience and also skills for programming/developing if that's your interest.

I got a BS in CompSci in 1983 and an MS in 85. I was taught PL/C, Fortran, APL and SNOBOL. I didn't touch a terminal for 2 years. I used computer cards.\n\nBack then, C++ didn't exist. Neither did Java, XML, C# or any of the other stuff you mentioned. \n\nBut what I did gain from school was the ability to keep learning and improve my skills. I've been in software development since I graduated. I've learned C++, Java, UML and Design Patterns through work training or just on my own. I'm constantly learning new stuff. This week I programmed the Visitor Design Pattern for the first time and wished I had known the technique years ago.\n\nI've adapted, and you will need to as well. By the time you graduate half of what you mentioned above will be gone or radically changed.\n\nYour school will take a lot of our decision making away through required courses. Fill in our free electives with the courses that excite you. Don't forget to take fun non-computer courses as well.\n\nGood luck.

Hi  Buddy...If you are interested in engineering...go for CET...I am a BCA graduate myself and i cantell you that its a wholesome computer application field...unlike Bsc...there wont be science and maths in it...\nso if you are more interested in science than computers...i would advise...go for Bsc.Moreover do Bsc if you have good maths background...i was'nt good in maths but i knew computers well enough...if you are like me...opt for BCA

Whoa!!! Some many questions...\n\nWell I am doing my MCA, and I feel, if you want to do BCA, you should be ready for MCA.  The reason is there is not much opportunity for BCA Graduates.  MCA is a well recognised course in the Software industry today, and a MCA degree from a good College will definitely get you a good job in Software Industry.  \n\nAs for BSC IT, you can get the details about the course structure from the Web site of university you want to pursue this course from.  Same is the problem with BSC IT, as it is with BCA.  You should be ready for MSC IT, or MCA after BSC IT.  The PG Degree is very important of you wish to get a good job.  Else, you can get into Computer Engg in any of the top colleges.\n\nAs for Domicile Certificate for Engg Course, you will have to check the university sites for it.

Actually entering Computer field for a non maths background person is little bit difficult, for everything Computer these days is Mathematics. I am saying this for I am myself in this field, and I see extensive use of mathematics in Programming.\nFor business what I think best is Go for B.Com. from any very good university with finances as your major and then try for CAT. But make sure, higher grades you score, better the prospects. And one thing more GK and Good Interpersonal Skills are a must.\nOtherwise there are really many options but then they will not give you the best in life.

Gosh! your questions are making me sick.\nAs I understand you got your B.Sc(Hons.) degree by enrolling in the diploma courses offered by NCC Education Services Ltd UK i-e for first year International Diploma in Computer Studies, 2nd year International Advanced Diploma in Computer Studies and 3rd Year, Degree from London Metropolitan University (formerly London Guildhall University), If this is the case then u and i have taken the same course :) \nWell with the same degree I was able to grab admission in 2 reputed US universities (in Masters degree program). One of those was DePaul University, which got the international assesment of my education before finalizing my admission. \nApart from that after 3 years of working experience I recently applied for MBA in two UK universities and got admission there too.\nSo I think you shouldn't have any doubts about the genuinity of the program, and if you are currently pursuing the degree then you should concentrate on getting a first class honors / distinction rather than worrying about its accalmation.\n\nTabraiz Feham

That depends on the type of job you are looking at. But a BS will always help you to land a better job, only having a "certificate in database administration" will be good only for a operator job, not the job of a real DBA, well not straightaway at least.
