<p>Hi,
I'm planning to switch to a computer sc engg major. Well, honestly, I just want to major in something that will get me good money and I kinda seem to be interested in computers but I don't want to be sitting in front of the machine my whole life.</p>

<p>Well, I'd LOVE to have a job that will let me do the following:</p>

<p>Lead people. I'd love to be in a leadership position supervising stuff and being in control. I think I'm good at that. I like to pay attention to details and make sure everything is "perfect".</p>

<p>I'd like to interact with people at work and not have to be confined to my computer desk the
whole time. I'd like to receive constant feedbacks for the quality of my work so I'll be
motivated to do better every time. I want to hold an important position at my workplace so everyone would know me. I love to be recognized and known since it acts as a HUGE motivator for me.</p>

<p>****Could you tell me what kind of jobs out there would match up with most (if not all) of the stuff I've listed out here? I'm so confused...*</p>

<p>Will a major in computer sc help? I was thinking I should go get an MBA after the comp sc so I can get into management. What do you think? Do you think I should major in Business then? Will Biz in information systems help?</p>

<p>It was just today that I somehow thought about Industrial Engg...I hadn't heard much about it so I did my research and it sounded a lot like what I am interested in. </p>

<p>****Based on what I've written about myself, do you think IE would be my thing? What are the job prospects like? Is the pay good?*</p>

<p>It would be great if you guys could help me!</p>

<p>really needed another thread for essentially the same post?</p>

<p>well, I changed my question a bit coz I am now considering IE too which I hadn’t talked about in the previous post. Also, I didn’t receive a good response there so I thought I should post again with a better title. :P</p>

<p>To become a leader, you generally take a line job and then learn like
mad so that you know the business, code, customers, vendors, etc. You
indicate that you are interested in a management track to your manager
and execute on project management.</p>

<p>A manager generally doesn’t pay attention to details. The manager has
competent people that do their jobs. In many cases, the manager can be
gone for a while while everyone does their work. If a problem arises,
then it may be necessary to look at the details of the problem.</p>

<br>

<br>

<p>If you work in large groups, there’s generally lots of face and meeting
time. Sometimes there’s so much interaction that you wish that you were
back at your desk.</p>

<br>

<br>

<p>This isn’t the attitude of a manager. A manager knows if he’s doing a
good job. The manager provides feedback to her staff on how they are
doing though. Some people need a lot of feedback and some don’t.
Providing a lot of feedback to an employee can be a lot of work and
managers have a lot of stuff to do themselves. It’s always best to be
a low-maintenance employee.</p>

<br>

<br>

<p>Part of being a manager is to serve the people that work for you. There
are lots of mundane tasks such as signing expense reports, contacting
IT to set up accounts for new employees, budgeting, writing reports for
your mnaagers, etc.</p>
