Ok, here's my situation. I'm 19 years old and I'm currently attending community college and I can't stand it. I seriously, can't see myself going to school for the next 6 years to get my Bachelors in business or anything. To be quite honest with you I really don't want to major in business but, I feel somewhat obligated to do it because my parent's own a really good established business. Which, someday their company is going to be handed down to my brother and I. In other words I don't want to go to school for the next 6 years.
The only reason why I didn't want to join the IT field because everyone tells me that the IT industry is dead....well, in the United States at least. But, I have a love-hate relationship with computers It can be one of the most stressful thinks to work on; but at the same time it can also be one of the best things. I've been working with computers for about 6 years now. I spent many sleepless nights on the computer.
Even though, I'm most likely going to take over my parent's company 5-10 years from now. Which they make a really good amount of money. I just want to get something in the IT field just to have something to fall back on. If something happens to the business in the future I can get a job in the IT field might some breathing room in the next 10-15 years.
So, now to my question. I was thinking of joining a vocational school to get certified in something. I was hearing that http://www.newhorizons.com/content/courses0.aspx?coll_id=9&sub=2&did=100&id=77
isn't really a bad school since They will teach you and certify you in A+, Network+, MCSE +S or +M (whatever you want), and CCNA. They have didfferent programs for you to choose from depending on what certs you are trying to get. They also guarantee a 3 month internship after gaining your certifications that 99% of the time ends up as a full-time offer from the company. they also offer many hands-on labs and simulations for you to get dirty and see exactly what you would be doing in the field, instead of just reading from a textbook and taking tests. Or is their a better school. I was also thinking what would be the best (job and pay wise) to get certified in?
Thanks for reading!
