I'm 17 and just finished attending a community college in place of my senior year of high-school. In September I will be going back full time and working toward graduating and transferring to a university.
I've always been interested in computers, electronics, programming, networking, WiFi and Amateur Radio. I know I want to take up technology as my major in school, so I'm trying to make the right decision on what major I will be taking up.
Networking Associate of Applied Science
Computer Information Systems A.A.S
Electrical Technology A.A.S.
Computer Science A.S.
I feel that the Networking A.A.S is too specific to the Cisco Networking examination. I feel that if I take that up, I will be limited as to moving up in my field. It would be networking, and networking only. Networking guys are a dime a dozen.
Computer Science focuses a lot more on programming. I don't want to be a software programmer only.
The Computer Information Systems A.A.S sounds better. The range of jobs with this are a lot more broader than taking up something like networking or programming only.
The Electrical Technology A.A.S would be best. I'm sure that would be more important to a computer related field than the CIS degree. If you can do Electrical Technology, you can do computer technology.
I feel that my passion of Amateur Radio could bring a career in cellular, WiFi, public safety communication, etc. I'm interested to hear about what everybody here does for a living and what they studied in school.
