I'm a junior at NC State(Anand U.) right now, currently listed as a double major in computer/electrical engineering. I'm also co-oping at the moment in a computer engineer related position(programming for embedded systems). However, after about 6 months of doing this, I've found out two things. One, I hate programming and would really rather not do it for the rest of my life. Two, I think I'd like to get into the hardware/network admin/IT field. However, being a junior, if I wanted to jump into this field, would I have wasted a lot of my time already? If not, what do I need to do to get started in the field? Should I change majors? How would I go about gaining practical, real-world experience in the IT field? Should I try to get certifications in my spare time? And finally, the inevitable question...how much money can I expect to earn starting out and later down the road?
Thanks in advance for the replies.
