So Ive been out of school for 3 years and really havent made it where I want career-wise. I originally thought I needed better hours, then I thought I needed more money....but the reality is that I just hate business and its a shame I didnt originally get a bachelor's in something I really enjoy.
So I thought a lot about my likes, hobbies, and passions. And since Ive always really liked techie things, (researching different devices, tinkering with operating systems, building my own PCs and troubleshooting networks), I think Im going to go back to school and get a bachelors in Computer Information Systems.
I considered Computer Science, but Im not crazy about having a career thats mainly coding or software creation. And Im not a big fan of theory and advanced mathematics. So CIS seemed more up my alley. It seemed more hands on.
Ive been doing research and I know I will have to get an internship, certifications, and experience under my belt as a support grunt before I really make it anywhere. And what really sucks is that Im turning 28 in two weeks and feel like Ive basically wasted the last 7 years going to school for the wrong major, then struggling to find work during a recession, and then working jobs I hated and had no interest in.
Sometimes I wonder if Im too old to get into the IT field considering all the young hot shots out there with years of experience....but I need to do something I care about.
