<p>Hello all. Sorry that this is long but this is important to me so I wanted to fully get across what I wanted to say. I really appreciate it if you'd take the time to read it and offer some advice.</p>
<p>I'm into my junior year of undergrad with an International Business degree and I realized I've made a mistake. My biggest passion has always been language and traveling since I was little. I've always known that I didn't want to go down the English teacher abroad route, or be an interpreter, or go into International Relations. So I made up my mind many years ago that the best route I could take was tie the international aspect with a career in business, and I'd get to make a decent amount of money and enjoy what I've always wanted to do. However, seeing how competitive business majors are, plus the realization that I really find business to be a field that doesn't interest me as much as I thought, has me second guessing myself with what I'm currently doing. I would press on if I felt like there wasn't another way, but recently I discovered another passion that contends with my passion of travel.</p>
<p>It was about 3 years ago that I discovered my love of computer and peripheral hardware, when I built my first PC. Since then I gained a lot of knowledge from researching many things out of curiosity, working 2 years at Microcenter in sales (selling computer hardware, TV's, printers, networking) and building and repairing many computers on the side. I really do love this sort of stuff, but AFAIK there isn't a professional level (well paying) job solely based on the installation and repair of computers. I do get the feeling that I would be stupid not to pursue a career in something I'm passionate about, but I really am lost trying to figure out which direction I should take. I've looked at Business System Analysts, Computer Hardware Engineers, Software Developers, Programmers, Computer and Information System Managers, Network Architects, and a lot of other similar jobs, and I really can't decide what I really would like to go into.</p>
<p>My level of knowledge with software and coding really is quite low, so I'm basically restricted to hardware unless I want to go blind into Computer Science or Programming. However, I was never good at Math (barely passed Calculus) or Physics either, and I understand any Engineering major is heavily reliant on those and is very intense and demanding. So I'm really stuck trying to figure out what to do. My dad is an electrician among other things, and he's showed me things throughout the years, so I have a bit of that background.</p>
<p>If I finish up my International Business degree, would I be able to find a job in the computing/IT industry still? Does it make sense to make such a big change in my junior year, and is there a major in this field that suits my strong and weak areas? Is there any truly "international" IT/Computer job that requires a lot of across borders work anyway? </p>
<p>Oh and I should also add that I am done with sales. I am currently working on getting my A+, Net+, and Security+ just to get my foot in the door at a semi professional level job to hold me over until I graduate and to give me an idea of if this is the industry I want to be in and where I would like to go next. Regardless if I stay with my International Business major, I'm getting the Comptia certs and will be looking for a job in the interim.</p>
<p>Appreciate all the help I can get.</p>
