Hi,
Could not find a suitable topic to post my question so I have decided to post it in Managing your career.
Background:
I recently completed my diploma in Information Technology and I’m planning to continue my studies in the university. I would like work in the IT industry after I graduate from the university. I wish to become a IT manager and a CIO in the future in a vendor type company providing solutions (areas include networking and security, business, softwares) for clients. But before that everything starts small.
Question:
1. Would like to know what kind of program should I pursue in the university that can leads me to my dreams?
– Computer Science (Pure Programming and stuffs)
– Business Information Technology (Business Related with project management)
2. Is it true that IT manager should starts off as a programmer?
3. What would be a good 1st job to do after I graduate?
4. Will certification helps? CCNA, etc….
Thanks for reading.
