If you were Registered and logged in, you could reply and use other advanced thread options

Thinking about going back to school for computers? Not for programming but
maybe hands on IT work, networking, security, or animation. Can you in the
field offer any career
thoughts or advise. I'm most concerned about outsourcing! While computers
are here to stay what career options are left?

What computer paths are best to seek? The schools just want my money so
what do you think?

Thanks,

Scott

Outsourcing a problem ?

Not when you work for a contracted company that provides the outsourced services
for the
client. Albeit it can be PITA and the end of a contract.

You have quite a range there. Networking, Computer Security (COMSEC) and
Information
Security (INFOSEC) are a far cry from animation. Animation is an art form. Are
you
artistic ? If yes... then go for animation. Are you technical ? If yes....
then go for
Networking, Computer Security (COMSEC) and Information Security (INFOSEC).
However there is
more to learn in those areas than animation and you would need to understand a
broad range
of technologies, platforms, applications and implementations.

All schools want money. Most have an objective to make a profit and NOT make
you a profit.
That is up to you. Do what makes you happy and don't depend on a school. Learn
for your
self and use a school as a tool and not an end to a means.
