| 863882 | 2010-03-04 00:42:00 | Kia Ora Tena Koto, Tena Koto, Haere Mai I am 22 years old . I've almost completed my BA in Politics and Geography, I'm going to sit A+, CCNA, Network+ and MCAS/MOS this year and I'm trying to plan my future . I want to ask all of you as a collective for your perspectives; what do you think I should do - pursue a particular job or career path - continue to do more study in different areas - continue to study with more specialisation in existing areas (e . g go on to do honours/masters) - something else entirely: write a book, e . t . c ? These are just some of the options I have been considering . For those of you who enjoy reading, here is some more background on me . . . I am very articulate, I love solving problems, helping and improving what's around me . I like to impress people with my abilities and I often lament that my age and inexperience mean people don't give me the responsibility and authority that I would like . I have ambitions to start my own business; I would like to own a cafe, a condiments production business, a travel website, and a business consulting service . . . so many ambitions but so little I can do to make them happen . Perhaps the biggest thing of all I want to achieve is to write a book . Here's to that . What do you have to say to me? Thanks everyone, Logan . |

| 863885 | 2010-03-04 01:37:00 | BA in Politics and Geography is utterly different from IT. Are you sure you want a job in information Technology? is this where your passion truly is? Figure out what you may be passionate about, is your first step. |

| 863886 | 2010-03-04 01:41:00 | BA in Politics and Geography is utterly different from IT . Are you sure you want a job in information Technology? is this where your passion truly is? Figure out what you may be passionate about, is your first step . I'm not sure, no, but it's one of the things I'm good at - one of the things I understand most . I'm passionate about almost everything -- there's not a lot that I haven't done and enjoyed; it's only ever working with unfriendly people that puts me off . I love learning and doing something new, having the breadth of understanding and experience is amazing and I will always seek that out . It's the main reason I did the BA rather than holding onto my IT knowledge and becoming hyper specialised . |

Why not go for your Masters in the most favourite subject and persue an academic career? LL Oh, yeah, I missed the katoa - but it is koto rather than koutu isn't it? I did enrol for Te Reo once but I withdrew because of a timetable clash . Put simply - I'm not interested in an academic career . I think that I am more active than one has the ability to be in academia . That is to say, that I don't want to comment on an issue - I want to be one making or breaking the issue . So, if I were to do any post-graduate study it would only be from the perspective of it advancing my interests in a subject . I am full of ideas and ambitions, that's for sure . It is as much a burden as it is a blessing, for every idea that I have that people appreciate there are others that I have no chance to act on; I live with a constant sense of lost oppurtunity ;) |

TRAVEL for a couple of years and get perspective of the whole world, not just NZ . . As for career, you may find your OE changes your views, however if IT interests you, I would concentrate on connectivity, virtualisation and web commerce . |

I like to impress people ; I would like to own a cafe, a condiments production business, a travel website, and a business consulting service . . . . Can't see any of those courses being useful at all for cafes, condiments businesses or travel . How about go travel for a bit first, then decide which of the businesses you want to do when you get back and forget IT altogether . If you really were passionate about IT you wouldn't even be asking . |
