Hi everyone,
I have a question; I went back to college recently to work towards a bachelors degree in computer science. I love everything about them and have since I was little. I have always wanted to have a job working with them. One thing or another has always kept me from my goal. Now I have decided that nothing is going to keep me from it but I am not completely sure my major is right. When I applied to the college, I talked to an advisor about what I wanted to do, trusting her to steer me in the right direction. Well my paperwork says I’m working towards a degree in computer networking and I’m not sure this is what I want to be doing, or is it. I want to be the guy you call when there is something wrong with your machine and in most cases be able to diagnose and direct you to fix the problem over the phone.
Now I mean no offense when I say this, so please don’t anybody in the world take offense to what I’m about to say. I don’t want to be the guy sitting in a call center in India reading my cues from a card, I’ve had to call them before and frequently I’ve already done the first 15 or twenty things on their check list before I even dial the phone they usually waste my time until they connect me with the guy who knows what he’s doing the guy that wrote the cue cards for those in the call centers. I want to be the guy that those guys in India call after they have tried everything they know. I want to be the guy who can get into the inner workings of the computer and figure out why something is not working, as it should, without having to use the cue card. So can anyone tell me what I need to major in to become that guy?
