Your Future Awaits
Around here guys are graduating from the local big name tech school with the same degree. $40K for 18 months, the same as a 4 year degree from the U of MN. They are taking $10/hour jobs. |

Don't listen to these guys.
First, congratulations! Second, yes, your field has a little bit of competition in it. Don't let it get you down. You can accomplish anything you put your mind to. A large percentage of people's current jobs have nothing to do with their degree. Network wit hfriends to find jobs. |

Stay in school, get a real degree which will pay better. Something like art history or anthropology.

Technology isn't like steam train repair.....it's going to be around FOREVER. We are in a slump, but nevermind the small brainers here that think the tech-field is gone. Keep at it, you'll find your place.

I just graduated with a 4 year degree in IT last week and signed a contract for a full time position about a month ago. IT is not a completely dead field like a lot of people think but it is not as hot as 4 years ago. What exactly your degree is in only makes a difference in entry level jobs after that it all depends on your skills and experience and that you have a degree. A 4 year degree is going to make a difference when it comes to promotion and moving up. Its simply another way of filtering.
I also believe internships are crucial in getting a job straight out of college. Just about everybody I know that just graduated and has a full time job in their field had an internship or some kind of experience with the company before graduating. So job hunting really starts your soph. or junior year in college not your senior year. It also seems like things are picking up. I have gotten a lot of call backs in the last 2 weeks for second interviews. My .02 |

Well, if you can afford it, I would suggest staying in school and getting a BS/BBA in accounting. Lots of consulting type jobs w/ public accounting firms,etc. with that combined background.
And congratulations on your graduation. |
