This thread dates back in 2009, wow.

I have my Diploma in CS, it does emphasize a bit on math for logic and critical thinking, at least up till Calculus II. I suck at math so much that I am sad when dreamer101 said everything need strong math and science to move forward fast. Still, it is the truth.

I am looking forward to continue my Bachelor degree in networking, more likely Data Communication and Networking, which is the reason why I am here. I am thinking of part time study as I just started working in an IT company for a few months.

What dreamer101 said are truly one of best advice from people who are very experienced. I just started working in an IT company and I could not agree more with dreamer101. You can know a little bit of everything, but I do think specialization is better due to supply and demand thing.

This post kind of insightful, perhaps half insightful laugh.gif but thanks dreamer101, your posts do help a lot. I'm not saying other's posts are not helping, but I'm looking info on networking because I prefer job where I can move around rather than crack my head with OO and yours kind of meet the purpose.

In the end, do what you have passion in, and nothing will be work. Create an artist out of you. Anyway, good luck all of you above, perhaps too late as it has been almost three years. Maybe all of you could update your status, did you chose CS? Perhaps Networking then? Perhaps had started working? I'd be delighted to know, and maybe leave some piece of advice for me wink.gif

Folks,
Networking can be software intensive, especially when you try to write socket programs or SNA LU 6.2 services to service hundreds of requests in a timely manner, i.e. before clients timeout on a very shot period smile.gif

Seem like most folks think of networking in terms of setting up hardware and moving about.  Happily, there is the software aspect of networking smile.gif

On top of that, on the software side, networking also involves interprocess communications over the network and this is software centric.

Perhaps I should consider Netcentric course rather than pure network. I could sharpen my network skill on experiences and certs. Some programming is fine, I guess, but .. hmm, idk. I certainly not going to make my current job as a career. Thanks though.
