|
| What do I mean by this? Ask yourself if
| |
| | their education either by self-study
|
| you'd rather sit in a cube and write
| |
| | using technical books, certification
|
| software, create and maintain databases
| |

|
| different mind sets.The administrators
| |
| | move from my sales position to my PC
|
| tend to follow a career path that goes
| |
| | Technician position. This is because it
|
| something like this. IT Intern or PC
| |
| | is VERY difficult to get hired if you've
|
| Technician performing break/fix tasks on

| | never been hired. There are so many
|
| PC's. As they advance they may manage

| learned programming of various languages
| |
| | internship (preferably paid) at a company

| | so much the better. If you can't start

| not important only the fact that they are
| |
| | volunteering for any organization that
