Long story short, I just paid my tuition bill today and 90% of the classes I need to take for this semester are full. :’( I also am thinking about changing degrees. Right now I am doing accounting and don’t really like it. I was pondering the switch to B.S. Business Administration - IT Management. I’m not sure how useful this degree will be, but the subjects it requires are much more interesting to me than accounting. Any halfway-legitimate comments/thoughts/opinions would be appreciated. :lol ---

My thought exactly. As far as UA goes, how you people who go there like it? It seems like a fucking massive school and I would get lost easily. Also hows the commuter lot? Nothing like hvcc, eh? ---

You end up doing more for less and spend the majority of your life on-call to fix what some asshole thinks is critical. Or you end up working for the state where they threaten to lay you off/not pay you every week. What does a BA in IT Management actually teach you anyways? ---

I’m on my way out of IT, been in 5-6 years now. If your a decent Engineer, you can always find work. But you are definitely on call a lot, higher stress, decent pay. ---

You will know the campus in 2 weeks…it’s not bad at all. Classes are full a lot you have to go to them the first day of class or email the professor ahead of time to try and get a permission number, try to have a back-up plan in case this doesn’t work though. ---

I’m an accounting major btw Thought about it myself, but just like IT, I didn’t want to be on the news in 5 years for shooting myself. Way too many careers out there to sign up myself for that one. For the record, managerial accounting was fun, financial sucked. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/ualbany-goons-get-in-here/252723.md?page=2)
