A good job does not need Good Education Qualification or Job Expertise. All it needs is a person with a will and will to accomplish a task.\n\nOne has to be logically and Analytically strong. To prove his wrong / Right point always right.

Probably not too directly.  Computer Information Systems is pretty high level.  But when working with computers extensively, the ability to analyze problems and think logically is important.  So perhaps that's the connection.

I deciding factor in rating how good a major directly proportional to how passionate you are about what you will be doing.  If you love computers and you can see youself doing it for 10 or 20 years, it's a good choice for you.

I think a certain amount of basic computer awareness and skill is a necessity in today's professional job market. Specialized knowledge should only be needed for specialized positions, however, everyone should have a basic grasp of how email works, how to find information on the Internet, and how to use Windows for daily work.

Hi There,\nIt's always useful to understand the tools at your disposal. IT tools often give us the ability to do things faster and more effeciently. It's not always the case, but if you don't have the knowledge, you won't know when it can save you time and money. You'll also notice that in a work environment computer skills are vital. Finding a job when you're not up to par with computer skills is difficult. It also never impresses your boss when you say "sorry, I don't know how to do that." Especially when the 19 year old intern does.\n\nEric

Unless you want a career in manual work such as housekeeping, ditch digging and (maybe) waitressing, some knowledge of computing is essential in the marketplace.  Many careers like retail or nursing have such customized software that it would be impossible to learn in advance, but in any case a basic understanding if keyboard operation is essential.  You probably already have that.\n-MM

If you have experience to go with it, it's worth it. It's harder to get a job these days with just the certification and no experience but if you have both, then you are very marketable.

Yes, of course. My brother taught me about computers 10 years ago, now I outgeek him.

Yes.  The important thing is to have a job.  Once you have it nothing says that you can't be looking for a better job.

For the Cadd you really have to consider whether or not you have any talent. If you have a good eye and inspiration then it could be a good line to go down however the computer can't give you the talent.\n\nFor the computing there is always the need for computer skills and the better they are the higher you will come in the interviews. As far as call centeres go, if you are willing to stick at it and have the ability to manage people then there is oppertunity, however don't forget that many companyies in this sector a relocating to Asia, so there might be tough competition in the future.\n\nGood luck with what ever desicion you make\n\nMH

Over the last decade, my whole career has been affected by computers.  I left my "real" job back in '96 to start an Internet Design company, which everyone told me was insane.  I worked and slaved over it for years, gained lots of clients, respect, awards, an office full of employees and then sold the company 2 years ago for a lot of $$$, and now I work out of my home as a freelancer helping other start-up companies do the same thing. \n\nWhen I was in college in the 80's, I never ever dreamed my life would turn into what it has.

doing. my knowledge and skill really shot through the roof when my friends started asking me to help them with computer issues. i saw things that i never would have seen before that helped me, for example, i installed my first cd drive on my friend's computer, and what I learned then is still with me.\n\nif you don't have any friends, or your friends are better than you, the next best thing is to build your own computer from scratch. you are going to make mistakes, and you'll fry some parts, but you'll learn a lot. you probably won't be happy with the final product until the third time you've done it.

Yes, it's a good paying job.  Any company that's heavy in electronics/machinery needs electrical engineers.

I would say that, yes, you are most likely smart. But even more importantly you were persistent & hard-working. Two very important skills in achieving success!

None if you live in the US.  If you are India where all the computer jobs are thanks to Bill Gates, then go ahead you'll always be able to find a job there.
