Progammer or Networking, Which Should I Go For?
I’m thinking about either diving into becoming a Programmer or Computer Networking but undecided on which one to study.
I’m a very visual person I would say and somewhat on the creative side as well. The only technical knowledge I have is using MS Office software and some A+ training as well. Any advice would be most appreciated…
If you have the "knack" for programming, this is where to go. There are too many network grads out there – I’m one of them. I was in operations, got my degree in networking and set around in operations for over 3 years waiting for an opening – finally one came up in programming – and I took it – (had the "knack" for it all along, but the college I went to didn’t have programming classes at night, only networking) – having a great time – they’ve sent me to classes for different things and now am working on data table changes and writing some programs.
It’s so nice to have my own cubicle and only 1 screen to monitor as opposed to the 34 that 3 of us watched. The people are far more friendly and laid back – the pace is slower. It’s nice to be here finally.
You’re asking us about your choice of career? Such narrow-minded thinking means that you should not be a programmer, that’s for sure.
well programming is a lot harder to learn, since sometimes you really need to think out the box, on how to code programs using just some ideas from clients, with networking is a lot more phyiscal eg under desks laying new cables, but then you get to learn networking systems like cisco etc.
I was originally planning on going to college for computer networking seeing as I already had gotten my CCNA certification while in High School and I loved working with computers.
After I finished High School and went to College, I hated it. It wasn’t the Networking that I hated, it was just everything else about college.
I stopped going to college (It was a community college, so it doesn’t even count) and that’s when I looked into development. A few months later I enrolled in a university for a Bachelors in Game Development and a Masters in Game Design and then transferring to another University to get a Doctorate in Computer Science. I’m about 1/3 of the way through my Bachelors Degree and I’m loving every minute of it.
It all comes down to what you like. It isn’t a good idea to have a stranger pick what you will do for the rest of your life. Just do what you want to do!
Programmer makes you awake all the time than Networking…
If u wish to have a peaceful life better choose Networking.
