<p>Thank you for the breakdown. I liked reading about the differences in the degrees. I cant wait to try programming. </p>
<p>So I have two options. 1) Finish at the Community College and transfer. 2) Get an AA that could land me a job doing something. Maybe Tier 1/2 Tech Support or Networking.</p>
<p>Some of the reading and research I have been doing has caused me to re-evaluate my desires and objectives. I may evolve this to a new post on a different forum…</p>
<p>I know I want to work with people. I’m not the worlds largest extrovert or door-to-door salesman but I do like customer service and training and presenting and maybe corporate sales. I could see myself as the rep a company sends to CES or some such trade show or giving a presentation. I like explaining technical concepts.</p>
<p>I like computers and technology. I remember playing with batch files on old old computers. I remember as a kid spending hours with them. I’ve tinkered with Linux, Windows, OSX, Android. I dont see myself as a full time programmer. With Windows 7/8 being released I find myself interested in UI/GUI design and the 4 Cs. </p>
<p>I like convenience. Part of the reason I played with the batch files was so I could create a menu system to run things off of a floppy disk without having to memories commands or parameters, and batch files were the best language I had at the time to do it. </p>
<p>I don’t have the math to be and engineer. While I’m sure I could do the math, I’m not sure I’d be happy with the huge workload. Math was always a pain in the past, but I was younger then. I do like the logic behind math. </p>
<p>I’m also mechanical. I’ve rebuilt an engine, worked on my cars, took apart many many things. I’ve painted, ran cable, but I sure as hell don’t want to be a mechanic. </p>
<p>Apparently, I like accounting. I like how everything balances out in the end. I like how it works as a language/system. Everything has a place, a rhyme, a reason. I easily aced my intro to accounting course. I don’t know if I want to be a number cruncher. </p>
<p>What could combine all these things into one? I don’t mind starting anywhere I need to start. Its like… I want to know enough about programming to program but would rather be a liaison between programmers and “regular” people. I like tech but don’t want to be an engineer. </p>
<p>Maybe I want to find applications for technology or figure how how it can be best used?</p>
