The same goes for "IT" work. You are never trained in a school to do said job. You learn how to learn and the real learning happens later.
In the world where I work, we don't need IT staffers that can't program. Well, unless you count folk that can replace a mouse.

I have a communications major and have been working as a news director for the last 7 years. For the past six months I've been taking classes towards an associates in applied technology of computer information systems...part time. I am interested in networks, security, programming, and support. Im not really far enough in my courses to know for sure what I want to do. My advisor recommended me to switch to computer information technology which would help me get my a+ certification but that area focuses solely in support and networks, when I also have interest in programming, web design and databases. A few weeks ago I found out my news station is merging with another and we're all losing our jobs. I am wondering what you would do in this situation. I would love to just go get my bachelors in computer science but really need a job to support my family. I'm not really sure where to go from here in order to get into the IT field the quickest.
