Should I major in Information Technology?

<p>Hello, I'm thinking of majoring in the Bachelors of Science in Information Technology program, is this a good idea? I'm worried this might not be the best major, I've been hearing a lot of rumors about not getting jobs (entry-level... etc...) when I graduate and such... Is this true?</p>

<p>I love computers and technology, at first I was thinking of majoring in Computer Science/Computer Engineering, but the math and science is kind of making it difficult for me, so I was thinking of an easy way out... </p>

<p>So is IT the right path/decision for me? :(
(I know I have to make the decision myself, but I was thinking if you guys could give me some advice/recommendations...?)</p>

<p>Please help! Thank you so much in advance! :)</p>

<p>it would be helpful to know where you currently are… are you a freshman in high school? A senior in high school? Or already in college? </p>

<p>I can’t imagine being able to give you any suggestions without knowing more information</p>

<p>Second year, sophomore in college.</p>

<p>find a teacher at the school who knows you, and ask for advice.</p>

<p>go to career counseling at the college, and talk it thru with them</p>

<p>meet with reps from each of the various departments, and talk it thru with them</p>

<p>meet with local head-hunters and/ employment agencies who specialize in the different fields, and talk it thru with them.</p>

<p>surf on the web for local computer groups, perhaps thru MeetUps; attend their meetings, join in their forum discussion groups, get a sense of the work, skills needed, job availability</p>

<p>shadow folks who are working in the various jobs that you are considering; see which suits you</p>

<p>get a summer job or internship, doing one of the fields you’re looking at; see what it’s like</p>

<p>go to your college’s job placement office, and see what internships they are offering in the fields you are talking about</p>

<p>in other words, get into the trenches and try things out and evaluate</p>
