What can I do?

If you want to work with people then consider help desk work - you'll need every people skill you can get in that environment but it can be very rewarding.

Another area is teaching - but you need lots of experience first

Applying for a entry level position will get you a helpdesk,techsupport,or application support position that will allow you to help end users,just graduating and getting in the door will be mostly end-user support.

Spoon,

You can sell software or hardware to businesses, or do the marketing, implementations, training and provide maintenance support. Plenty of these good people oriented jobs in our global economy.

I think, I and the other respondents assumed IS was for Information Systems - If you have no idea what a help desk or support person does then I think we were wrong.

What are your qualifications in? You need to look for positions for which yourqualifiaction is specific to in the first instance.

Spoon,

Well, yes the assumption is that your education field "IS" is Informations Systems - hence you should know what "help desk support" is all about. However, in relation to my above post, specific job titles may include: marketing specialist, pre-sales, inside sales. Just put "software vendors" in your web browser, and the various providers should all pop up, then look at all the job openings and carreer opportunities for companies that are in the geographical area that you want to live.

Apperently I to was under the impression that you were refering to Information Systems
Entrr level would be a position that consist of giving computer users help when something goes wrong with their computer or applications they would be running.Italso could be configuring systems with Operating systems and diffferent apllications to perform task specific to their job.
Their are a number of positions that you can get to once you have expierence such as System Administrator which would be a higher level position that would require knowledge of Network functions.

Then you may want to get an MBA and see if you can get into IT leadership somehow, or do some type of tech support. Sorry, work in the IT field requires a good mix of Technical AND People skills. I think if you don't want to work on Computers at all, then maybe you should do something else.

Sales was brought up before, and that's fairly non-technical, but you weren't open to that. So what are you willing to do?

If you wait around for the perfect job, you may stay out of work a long time.

Hi,

One way into thi IT field is through testing/QA. This allows you to be involved in development, but without doing the actual programming. I have found this very rewarding. There always seems to be demand for technically proficient testers (though not as technical as programmers). It is a career that has scope through all the management levels. It has served me well.

A different option may be network administration.

Hope this helps
