Associate from HVCC in Computer Information Systems.

Going back this fall for my Bachelors in Information Technology (which work will be paying 75% of) at UAlbany.

6yrs of experience in the IT industry (4yrs at my current company and 2 doing IT sub-contracting work for my school district during my junior and senior years) which includes networking and desktop support.

No certifications, but planning on doing A+ and Network+ one of these days to get them out of the way, and then the more serious ones (MS/Cisco).

June 12th, I take tests to get onto the State lists for two Grade 18 (Desktop and Network) jobs and one Grade 23 job (Desktop - hope I get something from that list - the difference in money is massive).

B.S. In Physical Education from SUNY Brockport 07’ after a few years off I am 3/4 of the way into my masters in Health Education from Sage Graduate School. I think grad school is less difficult than high school was but that could just be me. I know for a fact that I have better grades now but that could also be a maturity thing.

grade 18 is a great starting point. good luck with getting the job, though big drawback is that new hires are under the Tier 5 retirement program. but a pension is hard to come by these days:thumbup

WTF are you talking about? I intend to post much less so I removed my information. Big deal. But I’m not following what you ‘called’.

Grade 18 is a little less than I make right now but I hear good things about State jobs. My brother works for the State as a programmer and pointed me to these tests.

BA?

Anyhow, BS CS and minor in Business Management

Waiting for wife to make $$$ before I go back to consulting and teaching.

Also, random degrees are meaningless unless you consider how well one did and where they went to. But, this isn’t my thread. 🙂

I really hate to burst yours and chucks bubble but you will have to completely start over to come here. I mean even principles of communication/calc/bio/chem… Its all about money. I suggest you make up your mind sooner than later lol. My buddy mark is 25 with a bio degree from sienna. Hes in all my classes. You do make cash when you get out and while your in school.

Anyway im a second year at albany college of pharmacy. Specializing in pathology/hematology.

You mean you wish you picked a different focus in college not college, in general.

For what it’s worth, the new high school diploma is a BA/BS.
