Hi all;
I'm currently a student comparing my study options for the future. Currently
I have (Certified) experience in Java and Web Development. My strong-hold I'd
say is web-development but am willing to look at other things depending on
the size of the industry and obviously the pay. My current program at
University (or College in U.S.A.) allows me to specialize in software
devlopment; I.T. security; Internet Programming
Although I have experience in Software Devlopement; I don't see my self
working 8 hours a day trying to program around problems. Also I'm not so good
at Maths.
I.T. Security is something that currently sounds good to me. Doing a bit of
research I see that I'll have the opportunity to work with hardware and
software and at the least could end up in a position such as Network Admin.
The problem here is I have no current experience in the field.
Looking at web services; I already know what i can expect. What i want to
know is whether there'll be a demand to go to high places and get salaries
compared to that of a senior software developer. Another problem is I am no
good at graphics. So this means that I have no plans of becoming a web
designer. What I have in my mind is specialising in Internet Programming but
also having some software development papers done so I make sure I stay out
of the "visual" part of web development.
Now this is my perspective. So all you people currently working in the
industry, can you please tell me exactly what are its positives and
negatives. Also what is the pay like and is this an industry which is going
to boom in the future.
Cheers
