I love working with computers, troubleshooting, gaming, making cool graphics and stuff. That's why I'm considering a career in IT. I asked my friend who's a programmer about IT and he said he's not in IT, he's a programmer. I didn't know what that meant, whether he was joking or not. Guess I just didn't get it.
Anyway, I just want to know what some of the prerequisites are for working in the field would be. I mean, I really, REALLY suck at math. Is there any math involved?
Would they teach you everything you need to know in college? Right now, I have very basic skills. I can swap out memory or a drive or a power supply. I can turn it on and get rid of programs that don't need to be running in the background. That's about it. Oh,, I'm pretty handy about graphics. Mostly 2D stuff but they're rather nice. I'm talking emblems and signage and whatnot.I wouldn't be able to draw a very decent spaceship or something if asked. I don't even know how to make a straight line in photoshop.
I've worked with computers most of my like. I've had a Timex Sinclair and a TRS-80 when I was young. Guess that just means I've had exposure to the basic computer language. I've also done a bit with DOS.
So, any info you could provide would be awesome!
Thanks!
