Programming or Networking
One of the things that bother fresh graduates is; where to concentrate on. Should they be programmers or network administrators? or even System security.
The choice burns down to what you feel you can and what impact you can make to the society.
We will analyze some of the career choices in Information Technology or any Computer related course.
1. Programmer
One of the first fantasy of every computer scientist is to become a programmer. Back in 70's programmers only codes. The design and flowchart are done by another person. Maybe different company. but nowadays mid-level companies' programmers do a lot, ranging from Frontend to Backend programming. in actual sense, programmers are the ones that code, they write the programs using any computer programming language.
How does someone become a programmer?
We will take this in our future writing.

2. Networking
In networking, you have so many branches like network administrator, network security, network designer and much more. networkers deals with the connection between different electronic devices and also the security of those connections or link created.

N+ or CCNA?
Many network professionals are faced with the
dilemma as to which industry certification to
take, especially in the very beginning of their
career. The choice usually boils down to the 2
leading certifications: Cisco’s CCNA Routing and
Switching and CompTIA’s Network+.
Let’s take a closer look at them to answer the
question: CCNA or Network+? Is it worth having
both? If yes, then why and in which order? But
first, what’s the difference between the two?
Scope
CompTIA Network+ Certification:
demonstrates one’s knowledge of
networking features and functions,
including network technologies,
installation and configuration, media and
topologies, management, and security.
Cisco’s CCNA Routing and Switching
Certification: validates the candidate’s
ability to install, configure, operate, and
troubleshoot medium-size routed and
switched networks.
Not to jump to any conclusions just yet, but the
descriptions suggest Network+ being a
fundamental certification, with CCNA R&S
validating more advanced knowledge and proven
hands-on experience.
Vendor Relationship
The biggest difference between these
certifications is the fact that Network+ has been
developed as a vendor neutral certification. It
provides candidates with knowledge and
understanding of networking in general, and you
can apply this knowledge to most networks.
CCNA, on the other hand, was specifically
designed for Cisco’s networking technology and
products. Although the program does cover other
networking topics too, the difference and the
focus are obvious.
Exam Difficulty
Many network specialists tend to choose
Network+ certification because it’s said to be
easier to pass. In truth, it does provide more
basic knowledge and understanding of concepts
compared to CCNA. Similarly, those who have
passed Network+ with flying colors may be
seriously disappointed if they expect the same
level of difficulty from CCNA.
Let’s face it: CCNA isn’t a joke. It is hard. This is
why it is so valued by employers. Even though it
is an ‘entry level’ test, you should have 1-3 years
of networking experience to attempt it. CCNA
requires lots of studying, as well as practical
experience (and you should really get your hands
on some Cisco routers and switchers, even if
those low end ones – to have some experience
with their technology. It’s not something to get
away with looking up a few articles online). In
contrast, many users share their experience of
passing Network+ after ‘reading a book or two’.
Yet, don’t be fooled into thinking that Network+ is
a no-brainer, because it isn’t. CompTIA
recommend having an A+ certification and nine
months networking experience before trying to
pass Network+ certification. But it’s always good
to know that at least somebody didn’t have much
trouble with it, right?
Keeping Your Experience in Mind
If you don’t have much networking experience
and want an entry level yet professionally
recognized certification, Network+ is a smart
way to go. It is a very well-organized and
structured program that aims to fill the
knowledge gaps most people have in the
beginning of their networking career.
Network+ teaches you what networking
technology is. It may be a good foundation for
Cisco’s CCNA (or Microsoft, or other vendor
specific certifications for that matter), which
teaches you to configure and troubleshoot this
technology. So, if you are a beginner, don’t look
in the CCNA direction for now. Your time will
come.
For those who have a few years’ networking
experience and understanding, CCNA may be a
very logical and career boosting way to go. It is a
very in depth study of networking as a whole,
including routing, protocols, network design and
more. Even companies that don’t use Cisco
equipment value the CCNA for the depth and
complexity of the certification. It is nearly
impossible to achieve a CCNA without hands on
lab experience, and this practical experience,
combined with advanced knowledge, is
extremely valuable.
Industry Pe*******on
As the Network+ is vendor-neutral, it is
recognized by almost all companies. Many of
them, including Dell, HP, Ricoh, Sharp and Xerox
require it.
Highly valuable as they are, Cisco’s certifications
occasionally cause some frustration. ‘What if I
invest in my certification, and my next employer
does not use Cisco technology?’ some candidates
think. While this is a valid point for any vendor-
based approach, Cisco have made a name for
themselves – not only in terms of their
technology, but with regards to the quality and
level of their certifications, too. Last but not
least, with well over 50% of market pe*******on of
Cisco technologies, chances are that your next
employer will use it.
Conclusion
Whichever certification you opt for, you need to
start with evaluating your career goals, as well as
the current level of experience and knowledge.
Even those who have years of experience under
their belt should remember to clear their schedule
for lots of studying time, since the exams are
tough. Yet, hard as it all may be, your effort will
definitely pay off, whether you choose the
foundational Network+, or CCNA certification as
a more advanced option.

Is computer Science worth being a field????

Costya Perepelitsa has an incredible answer. Seriously, I agree with all of it.
[I realized about halfway through that this was going to be an incredibly long answer... there's a tl;dr at the end]
Honestly, when I was in high school, I thought the same thing as you. Why would I want to be a CS major? I don't want to sit in a cubicle for hours upon end. I don't want to have a career where I don't talk to people. But let me tell you... I was so completely wrong about the major. When I realized how passionate I was about technology and actually gave CS a shot, I learned just how amazing CS is as a major, field, and career.
I'm still quite young, so I can't really "look back" very far... but I have to say, so far, that it's been
so incredibly worth it . Because I'm young, let me provide a bit of my CS background (and hopefully speak to my credibility). I've spent a bit of time working in industry through my 2 internships (and 3rd this summer!). I have a bit of experience in research (bioinformatics, computational epidemiology, and starting CS+education). I'm still a student, so I still have quite a bit to explore, but from where I am now, I know that I've made an amazing choice.
The main point I want to make in this answer is that Computer Science is an incredibly versatile major . In all of the outreach and recruiting that I do, I preach that. Computer Science is an incredibly worthwhile major and career choice, because you can combine it with pretty much anything imaginable. I love music, sociology, psychology, and education (among other things). All of those are fields that, when combined with CS, make up some incredible research areas. Even subjects like English, which seems completely opposite from CS, have crossdisciplinary applications (NLP - Natural Language Processing). And, you can even do work in just pure CS! AI, Machine Learning, Computer Vision, etc are all incredible fields too. So, if you're looking to devote your life to study and research, CS opens up so many doors.
Even if you're not looking to do research, look at the tech industry in general. The diversity within the industry is enough to tell me that CS is a worthwhile career. Look at how much of our world revolves around or involves some sort of technology. When I do outreach, we ask the students "how many computers do you own?" Sometimes, they answer with 0, 1, or 2 because they're thinking about laptop or desktop computers, when in truth items such as cellphones, microwaves, cars, televisions, etc all have computers of some sort in them. This means that, if you choose a career in CS, you're likely to never get bored of your work. You could work in one company on projects relating to social and then move to another that works on mobile or web or products or data analysis, the possibilities are endless! Even within the same company, there could be teams that do incredibly different work. The example I usually make with students is Microsoft - think of Windows, Microsoft Office, Outlook, XBox, Azure, Windows Phone. Those are all so different, yet they're all in one company. And, the concepts behind the products (operating systems, productivity, email, gaming, cloud, mobile) are being worked at different companies. And those aren't even all of Microsoft's products, nor does Microsoft work on all of the products or concepts in the industry. The industry is incredibly diverse and full of options!
On a side note... When I go and talk to students, I tell those who are undecided about what major to choose to pick Computer Science , because just about every major has to program or work with technology at some point.
Now to address some of the points you've made in your question description...
Never have I sat in a cubicle for 8 hours. The only time I sat in a cubicle was when my team moved into a new building and standard procedure for the company was to set up the floor in cubicles until everyone was settled and then they could change it back (needless to say, I was only there for a week anyways). There are places where you will work in a cubicle, it just depends. But, there are definitely a good number of companies where you won't sit in a cubicle (unless you want to, and there are definitely advantages to cubicles!).
The only reason I've stayed in the office more than 8 hours is because I wanted to . I know that sounds crazy, and my friends (and coworkers) thought I was crazy too. Of the past 2 summers, the 8+ hour days only happened during one of them. When you find something that you're passionate about, time just flies. Seriously. In all honesty, during one of my internships, I left the office at 6:30 (after eating dinner nearby) every day. Maybe occasionally at 7:30, but not very often. It has to do with loving what you do. No one really forces you to stare at a computer screen for 8 hours. Even when I would spend 8+ hours at work, not all of it was spent staring at a computer or at code, even. A good portion was spent meeting with people, working at white boards, walking around to try and work out a problem or bug in my code. I guess the point I'm trying to make is that the "long hours" aren't necessarily a requirement or expected part of a career in CS; it's more like something that comes with the territory and loving the product that you're working on.
It is beyond exciting to build "cool stuff"! It's crazy to see your code in production. Something as simple as a creating a button on a website or changing where something is located can affect hundreds, thousands, millions of people. It's almost hard to take that in. For me, I can't even begin to realize how many people have seen changes that I've made. And I'm not even that great of a programmer. I'm so young, I've done nothing. Imagine working in this industry for years upon years, impacting people through the ages? Like, I'm going to be working for the engineer who created page breaks on Google Forms. How many people make multi-paged Google Forms? That's crazy. I (briefly) worked with someone who I later learned was (basically) a Facebook giant. I just thought he was another engineer in the chat division. I can't even begin to imagine the people he's impacted over the course of his career.
Costya touched on the pay. I don't want to spend too much time talking about the money. Yes, it's quite a bit. It's good pay. I didn't take any of my internships or research fellowships for the money (even though I would have good reason to).
It is such a satisfying job. I think the information I've given above illustrates that, but in case it didn't... A career in CS is so satisfying. It's beyond satisfying. I'm passionate about helping people, connecting people, working with technology... I get to do all of that for a living and get paid to do so? That's incredible. Even if you didn't get paid, the fact that someone, anyone has the opportunity to really change the world is incredible. Computer Science is one of the majors that really does change the world. When I think about how much technology has changed and affected society, I realize just how important CS is as a major and field.
Can you expect to get hired at 40 or 50? I'm not really anywhere near that age, but I'd assume so. If your skills are good, I don't see why not! And, there are people who move around in the industry too. And, to assure you that I'm not kidding, my dad just started working again after fight and defeating cancer (GO DAD!). And, he's a CS-er too!

HOW TO UPGRADE YOUR SYSTEM TO WINDOWS 7.
Before you install Windows 7 on your XP system,
you need to back
up all of your data, and all of your programs.
Windows 7 will in
effect wipe and reinstall your system, so everything
on it will be lost
unless you save it. Fortunately Microsoft provides
the Windows
Easy Transfer for Windows XP program to help.
Backing up files and data is relatively
straightforward, but bear in
mind that you will need the install files and codes
for all software
programs you want to. You'll also want to update
and run your
antivirus, before disabling it.
Install Windows 7 on XP PC or laptop.
Now with your computer on and Windows XP
running, insert the
disc into your computer. Setup should start
automatically. If it
doesn't, click Start, click My Computer, open the
Windows 7
installation disc on your DVD drive, and then
double-click setup.exe.
If you've downloaded Windows 7 rather than
buying a DVD, browse
to the installation file you downloaded, and then
double-click it
(often identified as an Application file under the
Type column).
If you've created a bootable Windows 7 installation
USB thumb
drive, insert the drive into your computer. Setup
should start
automatically. If it doesn't, click the Start button,
click Computer,
double-click the drive, and then double-click
setup.exe.
On the Install Windows page, click Install now. On
the Get important
updates for installation page, get the latest
updates to help ensure a
successful installation, and to help protect your
computer against
security threats. Now click I accept the licence
terms, and then click
Next.
Now on the Which type of installation do you
want? page, click
Custom. Choose the partition containing Windows
XP (this is often
the computer's C: drive), and then click Next.
In the Windows.old dialog box, click ok. Follow the
instructions to
finish installing Windows 7, which include naming
your computer
and setting up an initial user account. You can use
the same names
that you used in Windows XP, or choose new ones.
You will now need to copy back over all the files
you backed up, and
reinstall all your XP software packages.

Security+

CompTIA Security+ certified professionals are
validated with skills and knowledge of security
concepts, security tools, and methods of reacting
against security incidents and ensures the
security personnel are anticipating security risk
and guarded against them. CompTIA Security+
Certification is a standalone and vendor neutral
certification with exam code sy0-301.
This article would simply outline CompTIA
syo-301 exam in detail with all the cores and to-
do things. Thus, letting you believe that the
certification is easy if you take things in the right
direction and its achievement is of-course huge
cash back. Read on for tips:
Why Get CompTIA Security+ Certification?
Reasons are simple and obvious and one is; the
certifications which are industry standards are a
great way to add importance to your resume.
Governments DoD 8570 policy for employees
working in Information Technology department or
in Computer Security fields are required to acquire
this certification so they can stay compliant with
the policy. Most of the non-government
companies are also requesting their employees to
earn Security+ Certification for their yearly
training plan.
For any individual who is already employed and
needs an advance in his potential earning can
take a start with CompTIA Security+ Certification.
Any person seeking a career as Network
Administrator, Security Specialist or Network
Technician would have no better option but
acquiring this certification.
Exam Details:
The syo-301 exam is based on 100 questions and
requires 90 minutes duration to answer them;
they include multiple choice questions, fact based
and linear questions. A 750 score or higher on
scale of 100-900 is must for passing.
It’s recommended by CompTIA that you should
have network security experience before acquiring
the certification but it’s not a compulsion. The
current fee for exam is USD $266 and equivalent
in other currencies.
There is no time limit provided for retake of exam,
if the first attempt goes unclear you can make the
second attempt at any given time but a new fee.
As far as the third attempt is concerned, you
would need to wait for 14 calendar days to
reappear.
However, CompTIA does not allow you to take
the exam again if you have passed the exam
unless take their consent. Similarly a test result
that would goes in violation of the retake policy
will not be entertained and no credit would be
awarded. Thos who repeat violation will be
banned from CompTIA Certification Program.
Objectives Of syo-301 exam:
The exam covers a wide spectrum of security
related topics, so the knowledge gained would not
be limited but would cover anything to everything
that is required to handle security. The topics
included in exam with their percentage are as
follows:
Systems Security – 21%
Network Infrastructure – 20%
Access Control – 17%
Assessments and Audits – 15%
Cryptography – 15%
Organizational Security – 12%

Network+

Network+ is a certification that is used to
measure skill as a network technician:
understanding of network hardware,
installation, and troubleshooting. Network+
was first launched in 1999, and exam updates
followed in 2002, 2005, and 2009. The 2009
version was retired on August 31, 2012 and
new objectives (the "2012 objectives") were
started to be examined in Nov/Dec 2011.
Topics include network hardware, connections,
software, the OSI Reference model, and
different protocols used in local area networks
(LANs) and wide area networks (WANs).
CompTIA recommends having the A+
certification, and nine months networking
experience before sitting for the exam, but this
is not required. Network+ prepares one for
continuing to Microsoft certifications and Cisco
certifications. A combination A+/Network+, A+/
Server+, or (just) Security+ certification can
fulfill the elective exam requirement of the
Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator
(MCSA) certification.

Comptia A+

The A+ certification demonstrates competency
as a computer technician. Officially, CompTIA
A+ certification is a vendor neutral certification
that covers numerous technologies and
operating systems from such vendors as
Microsoft , Apple Inc. , Novell and some of the
Linux distributions. The A+ certification
exam was developed in 1993. There have been
five versions of the A+ exam, the 1993, 2003,
2006, 2009 and 2012 objectives, which are
broken down into two separate exams. The
2003 objectives contained the A+ Core
Hardware Exam and the A+ Core Operating
System Technologies Exam, and were retired
on June 30, 2007. The 2006 objectives require
that a candidate successfully pass the A+
Essentials and one elective: IT technician,
remote support technician, or depot technician.
The 2009 certification requires passing two
exams: Essentials and Practical Application.
The A+ exam is intended for information
technology professionals who have the
equivalent of 500 hours of hands on
experience. The exams are computer based
and composed of multiple choice questions, of
which there may be more than one correct
answer. Over 800,000 people have earned the
A+ credential worldwide, to date.
Topics of the Essentials/Core examination
include IRQs, direct memory access , and
practical computer repair, including the
installation and repair of hard drives , modems ,
network cards, CPUs, power supplies , PDAs ,
and printers . The focus of the exam is not
theory, but practice. Sometimes graphics are
used in exam questions. Topics included in the
Operating Systems Exam include memory
management, configuration files, and historical
operating environments rather than newer,
cutting edge technologies.
In September 2006, the CompTIA A+ test was
updated so that the test taker must take the
CompTIA A+ Essentials (220-601) test along
with one of three other tests (220-602,
220-603, or 220-604). Each of these elective
exams offers candidates the opportunity to
specialize their A+ certification to match their
desired career path.
With the introduction of the 2006 A+ exam,
candidates were offered a grace period
whereby both the 2003 and 2006 versions
were available. From June 2007, the 2003
version of exams was no longer available in
the United States . In some countries, the grace
period was extended to December 2007. The
2003 version was also extended in cases
where the A+ certification exam was included
in a course of study. Also, most legacy support
questions have been excluded. The existing
CompTIA A+ 600 series exams remain relevant
and are in use by organizations and
educational institutions throughout the world.
The regular, non-academic English version of
these exams retired in the United States and
Canada on February 28, 2010. The educational
versions of these exams (JK0-601, JK0-602,
JK0-603 and JK0-604), as well as the
German, Korean, Arabic, Chinese and Japanese
translations of the 220-601 through 220-604
CompTIA A+ exams,remained in the market for
use until August 31, 2010.
The A+ certification along with Network+ may
be used to qualify as an elective for
Microsoft's MCSA and MCSE certification.

REVIEW OF COMPTIA EXAMS

CompTIA is a provider of professional
certifications for the information technology
(IT) industry. CompTIA chairs and manages
the Initiative for Software Choice .
Current certifications
CompTIA administers its certification exams
through Pearson VUE testing centers. In
addition to certification, CompTIA also
provides corporate membership.
In April 2007, CompTIA's "A+", "Network+",
and "Security+" certifications became
accredited by the American National Standards
Institute .
In January 2010 these ANSI/ISO approved
certifications fundamentally had their
conditions changed from lifetime certifications
to certifications that will expire every three
years. Current certificate holders will still have
valid certs for life, but any new certifications
earned after December 31, 2010, will expire
every three years.

Improved PC Boot Up Monitoring Utility:
TuneUp Utilities also provides benchmarking
features which record the time it takes to boot up
into Windows and gives you a system
performance score. These features are particularly
useful for comparing your computer's
performance both before and after carrying out
the optimizations. Many users have experienced
significant improvements in various aspects of
their computers' performance, particularly with
regards to startup times. Ultimately, you should
be left with a considerably more responsive
computer.
Conclusion:
TuneUp Utilities does a far better job than many
other PC optimization utilities at cleaning up your
computer and markedly improving performance
and reliability, particularly when compared to
most of the free programs out there. With its
intuitive interface and well-defined functions, it is
also an ideal tool for amateurs. This is especially
the case for those who prefer to automate PC
optimization and maintenance tasks. Power users
will find the more advanced features very
welcome although those who religiously look after
their computers and maintain them regularly will
probably not notice an enormous difference. The
price of the software is also higher than many
other PC optimization tools although its wide
range of features including data recovery, backup
and secure deletion largely make up for that. A
deal-breaker for some will be the fact that it can
only be installed and activated on up to three
computers at a time. If you have no more than
three computers in your household, however, then
this is not going to be an issue.
