Future Job

            As of now the IT field has a lot of different types of positions or majors a person could choose from. The field that I’m currently interested in is Networking and for many reasons. The first reason would have to the change of environment. In networking I have to opportunity to work away from a desk and possibly move around to all different types of companies, installing the wiring for a major network. Secondly I could also be a network administrator for a business, but most likely wouldn’t move around as much. Most likely I would stay at that business and maintain their network for them. The networking field is most likely the field I will stay in.

            The IT career could consist of three different degrees: Computer Support Specialists, Network Specialists, and Programmer Analyst. A Computer Support Specialist provides a certain level of support to an end user or client. A Network Specialist maintains a major network within a company and makes sure everything is running smoothly. Programmer Analyst’s design programs for computer systems and make sure they run properly. The Computer Support Specialist provides customer service and support to our internal customers within a help desk environment by answering, documenting, troubleshooting and escalating incoming calls as appropriate.  Supporting computer desktops is a primary function, and a Computer Support Specialist would be responsible for installation of related hardware and software, basic networking components, equipment diagnosis, and troubleshooting. Network Specialists could all have different job duties, but mainly they are in charge of running and maintaining a major network. The job duties of a computer programmer are many, but most involve developing software.

            Some qualities that I think would be required for a Network administrator job would include: a positive attitude, good work ethics, and the ability to work well with others. As far as education goes to help you succeed in this job field varies. A two year degree will work just find if your looking for a field in IT, or a bachelors degree swouldn’t be so bad to have as well.
