If you get a 2.1 Accounting degree and then join an accounting firm for three years you will get your required work experience whilst taking the ACCA exams. Once you have passed these exams you will be a Chartered Accountant.

As a Chartered Accountant you should be able to get a good job

All you guys need to talk to each other, you all have the same question, office power paths are created to supposedly ensure that low level employees don’t know too much about what goes on in case you decided to sell the idea to a competitor, but it doesn’t help with the overall outcome of the project. Being kept in the dark to protect the project might work is every level of staff did their job, knowing what all the other levels under them were doing – otherwise nothing would ever work

I’m about to start a post graduation in information systems (MBA). Could you please suggest me, how I can be proficient in information systems Management to get placed in a good company?

Get a high GPA from a good school. You need excellent people skills, an outgoing personality and the ability to talk to geeky coders as well as polished business people. You need strong management skills, good time management and the ability to evaluate scenarios, devise a plan and execute. You also must be able to work in a team and exhibit leadership skills. If you can do this, you’re in the upper percentile and can secure a fast-track role with a major consulting firm that leads to Senior Partner. You’ll be tagged upon hire as a potential candidate then tested and fast tracked according to your skills. This will place you on track to make 200K-500K per year. Eventually more if you secure stock options. Then in your 40’s move to a C-level position through the help of a high powered recruiting staffing a well funded VC deal. Now you’re headed to 7-figures plus large stock options. These are the golden keys nobody tells you about. What you do from here is up to you.

I’ll tell you a little story… I opened a software company 8 years ago and have one of the most amazing products on the market today… the nice thing about computer science and programming is that you create things, not just consume them. It’s funny, I tell my customers all the time, that I am the only person I know that actually makes something and owns a product that I can sell, instead of investing in real estate and waiting til I’m 65 years old to enjoy it. With coding, your only limited by your thinking, can you tell which one I lean towards? IS people consume, and there’s not too much challenge in that, which is why the pay has come down so much over the years. Be creative and own what you do!

1.Chief information officer
2.Database administrator
3.Data processing director
4.Head technical librarian

A data-entry operator would ordinarily report to a data processing director. A systems programmer might report to a CIO.

I need to take a computer science class for a semester but i don’t like computers and don’t have much computer knowledge.

I want to be a journalist.

I want to wither take Multimedia Technology or Integrated Computer Applications.

READ IF YOU NEED A DESCRIPTION…

Intgrated Computer Applications-

Integrated Computer Applications is a class designed to teach computer skills using word processing, spreadsheet and presentation software. The Windows Operating System and computer troubleshooting will be explored in this class as well.
Tables
Personal resume
Letters
MLA research papers
Editing
Formulas (including absolute references)
Charts

Multimedia Technology:

In this class, students will learn how to create and edit videos, manipulate photos, and design web pages. The Multimedia lab consists of 24 Windows machines as well as scanners, VCRs, DVDs and CD/DVD burners. It is a beautiful lab that offers endless possibilities. In addition, the students in this class have access to digital camcorders and digital cameras.
It is highly recommended that students who enroll in this course have a good working knowledge of computers. It is a class in which students receive training on specific hardware and software and are then asked to complete projects to show their knowledge of this information.

HELP!

Take the first course listed. The second seems to want you to know what’s in the first course.

Is that the same kind of degree? I know learning technology and educational technology is the same thing.

I know information technology is different from information systems.

But, is educational technology the same thing as information technology?

Not at all. While educational technologists may use information technology in their jobs, they have a very different purpose. I’ve worked at a couple of universities which used educational technologists heavily, and their job was to work with instructors to help them design and implement ways of teaching effectively. Yes, they taught the faculty about new hardware and software developments that they might be able to use to make their classes more effective (I remember when podcasting first became available, they helped some instructors use that to record their lectures), but they also help faculty design projects to assign to their students, or write exams to optimally test for how well students have met class objectives, etc. I also remember at one point going to our instructional technologist because I was teaching a lot of student athletes, and I noticed that they had a lot of kinetic energy and found it hard to sit still in class, even if they were interested. So we designed some class exercises which would allow students to move around more often so that I could keep their attention.

Hi guys I hope you are all doing well. I recently finished my MBA and now I want to do my Phd. I am thinking about combining my business and management knowledge with other areas such as; information systems, technology, innovation etc.). To be honest I do not want to teach after Phd and I really want to go back to industry.

An MBA should be all you need, but a PhD in information systems would be very marketable.
