IT or design?..

[sonictheory]

guys, am on the way to choose my direction on which way should i go which is kinda hard for me to make a decision...so hope all of u guys taiko which has already walked thru the route direct me.. so that i will not waste much of my time and money which i found out later i've chosen a wrong way...i know alwiz ppl will say, it's up to ur interest..but nowadays, a degree holder is everywhere at the street...

my father suggest me not to further up my studies but continues my mom's buiness...coz he say, after u got ur diploma or degree, in the end the point of u study also becoz of wanna go out for work, earn money only...i find it got it's point for this... but what if after few years continuing my mom's business, i find it bored, and i dun even have a diploma or wat, what job can i do?...aih feel complicated lah this...

and second question, i'm more into IT, can sit a day without rest infront of computer...got a few skill for design lah, but not really expert la, coz only self teaching nia... so nowadays which one is more having job prospect?... i hear IT (ie programmer) now is a no no for the job prospect rite now, coz everyone is fighting for job now...design a lot, but how much can it earn?...i dunno...maybe few of u guys which in design field know it...

so u guys feel if it worth to spend around 80k for a degree course?...

so guys, give me ur opinion plz...i have no direction now...guide me.. :(

programmer's life is quite tough if you ask me, tho i'm still studying, my last sem for advance diploma, and i don't even know if i'm gonna pass the project or not. its fun i admit, but its also very tired. fun part is when you get all your codes to run without a bug, tired part is when you can't figure out the codes and the program can't work, which make you more miserable in the end :(

about how is it feel working as a programer or software engineer go ask some who is one lor... i know evo3 is one lar.. can pm him for advice. but to me now, able to have a business to continue, although boring, is better than no job.

Sonictheory sorry lah.....cant type too much in here lah, coz cant post up. hoped u undestand loh.......

If u got Degree Holder of Networking & Server Stuffs, good pay and easy job functions. Compare with designers & programmers.

Forget about programmer or network engineer. You get bored and felt stupid after a year of working and you will realize almost everybody working in a same field as you. Pick up a stone and throw it out u will hit someone with IT background.

I'll say go for design, especially in KL.. Ads agency hiring quality designer with a bteer price becos its not easy to find a good one and the market demand for designing is high. But design need inborn creativity so you might wanna consider it first. And normally we look for a graduate from Wanganui.. LKW is ok..

Designer work with style, creativity and a keep changing lifestyle. You will enjoy it other than working as a programmer or engineer sitting around in office staring at a computer looking at code or stay in a factory patching this and that.
You wont be much of a value to your boss becos IT/programmer/network engineer are everywhere.

I posted a programmer vacancy 3 months ago on jobstreet and guess what! i received more than 1000 applications within a week...

Also, another good point is designer tend to work more with chick, know more people, more socialize and attitude.... enough said.!!
:)

Still you need to think and see which is suitable for you.. all the post here can just be an advice from their experience.. dont go 100%..!! Its your life .. its your call!

guys, although i'm still new in study, but my dad keeps on reminding me that even you have the degree or whatever, but without the "skills", you wont go any further..

did anyone read yesterday's paper? there is too much "grape farmer" (menganggur la..) till the MEF want to starts a scheme that will improve their skills to get a job.. so, i think you better at least get a diploma and then continue your family business.. :D

just my 2 cents! ;)

Design and IT is a very low pay job if you got one :(

you see now how many student study in this course? got MMU, LKW, The ONe, PJ College and more...can you imagine how many company looking for Designers?

And you want to look for a job also quite susah because of bulk students coming
out one time!!!! not only you :) I also don't how to say...but when the time comes
you will know what I trying to say here :) :) good luck dude :)

 

[X88]

y dont u do a combination?

Computer Aided Design(CAD)

 

[moruh]

well, i suggest u sumthin how to earn lot of money/BPJ...u want to be designer+u like to use computer.. so u can do design using computer, u will have a bright future if:
a) be an architect/ interior designer
- yup, theres lot architect/id up there but they mostly lack of skill, skill using computer eg: 3d studio, CAD/Revit.... to market their firm up to international
B) be an automotif engineer
c) profesional animation or illustrator
- i heard from my friend who doing this job being paid up to 20k permonth,he just a one man show, as a self employed

also u hav to be creative using computer. just an opinion

 

[reddice]

i think go to IT la..hardware and everything,server,network...waa..nice ma..
but proggramming i think ok la..but must be truly expert..why dont you go for IT and learn Designing and proggramming as "sambilan".

can la..examine what the big2 company need..learn the software..illustrator,fireworks..photoshop..and still learn proggramming..in 3 years if you already finish your ijazah..then you are expert in design and proggramming..if not expert,intermediate la..

when you are applying for job,easy because :
1 : you have ICT deggree
2 : you know designing
3 : you know proggraming

but depend la,takkan wanna learn all right.maybe what suite you.design or proggramming..

p/s : but searching for jobs is quite hard bro..even if know everything..
