Before I start a little background –
I’ve been working in IT for several years now, currently employed at a small bank as Network/Systems Admin w/ an add’l corporate title of Info. Sec. Officer (pretty much just resume candy).
Following high school I got a job doing tech support and my family couldn’t afford college and I got caught up working full time. Well now I’m starting a family (my first child is due march 06) and once things settle down after the baby’s born I plan on starting college.
I’m 21 and am at a bit of a crossroads so I figured I’d get some advice here. I love IT and I love my job, I’m a little nervous about long term so here are my choices. They are major in Computer Science or Business Administration. I know a few guys in IT that went the Comp. Science route and others that went the Business Admin route. Can someone offer me the pros/cons of both? I’d like to someday persue my own business or maybe CIO/CTO but then again I’m concerned if I go with the BA as opposed to the CS degree companies may see me as less tech savvy while I work my way up with experience.
Thanks for any and all advice,
Greg
