תעודה מ"אוניברסיטה" מה עדיף?

כדי לא להפוך את זה לסיפור מהפטרה,
אקצר,
הממשלה משלמת לי כדי ללמוד בקולג'
אני נוטה להסכים איתם,
השאלה היא, מה עדיף? ומכול הבחינות, איזה תעודה יותר יעילה?

2011- 2012 Convergence Technology Program Information

Program Options:
AAS - Convergence Technology
Certificate - Convergence Technology
Certificate - IP Specialization
MSAA - Home Technology Integration (HTI) Expert
Collin's Convergence Technology program introduces the "triple play" combining voice, video and integrated data over an IP network. The program focuses on key content in all three areas and gives students experience in solving real-world problems through case study courses. The two novel case study courses address contemporary Small Office Home Office (SOHO) and the Enterprise network business situations, allowing students to utilize the college's state-of-the-art Convergence Lab to build a portfolio of completed projects prior to entering the workforce. The student's ability to design and maintain those networks will give them excellent marketability in this future high-demand, fast-paced industry of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) as described by the Texas Workforce Commission and Career Development Resources.

Convergence is:

* The blending or integration of voice, video, and data into a single but flexible global communications network.
* The merging together of products and capabilities of multiple vendors to create an integrated solution for the customer.
With curriculum designed by industry area experts and taught by experienced professionals, the Convergence Technology program at Collin gives students extensive hands-on training and prepares students for the workforce and for professional certification exams including CCNA, MCSA, A+, Network +, Security +, Linux +, HTI+, and others.

Students planning to transfer to a college or university should check with a Collin academic advisor prior to beginning this program. Tech Prep students who took collegiate-level courses in Convergence Technology while in high school may elect to receive college credit by contacting the Global EDGE office. A petition for Tech Prep credit should be completed as soon as possible upon admission to Collin.

רצוי לציין, אני די מעוניין באופציה 3, למרות שאין לי מושג מה לעשות עם זה, את אופציה 4. EE, אני יכול לעבור בשינה. יש לי יותר מ10 שנים של נסיון פרקטי.
השאלה מה עדיף לשוק של היום, העונים (ואני יודע די בדיוק מי הם), מוזמנים לתת חוות דעת.

למרות שזה קצת מובן מאליו :
מהניסיון שלי בתחום , עדיף כמה שיותר קורסים שקרובים למה שאתה באמת מעניין לעשות במציאות,
כאשר משהו יותר כללי פותח בפניך יותר אפשרויות. לכן הכי חשוב איזה תחום יותר מעניין אותך.

מהידע שלי , הנושאים ה"חמים" בימינו הם :Security , Linux , Convergence , לגבי EE - תמיד יש דרישה לתחום.

הייתי מסדר אותם לפי הסדר הנ"ל:
Convergence Technology1
Electronic Engineering2
Computer Networking3
Cisco Systems Networking4
כאשר הראשון הוא התחום שכניראה יהיה הכי מעניין/מבוקש ואחרון הוא הפחות מוצלח.
מה לעשות עם זה - לגבי Convergence יש המון חברות חדשות שמתעסקות עם זה , (עד לפני כמה שנים עבדתי בשתי חברות שהתעסקו בתחומים האלה)
למרות שרוב הקורסים יתנו רק מבוא לתחום - זה התחלה טובה , ותמיד אפשר להשלים לבד.
יכול להוות כרטיס כניסה למקומות שכן מחפשים את התעודה.

לדוגמה - העברת תכנים כמו וידאו , קול וכו' לsmartphone - קשורה מאוד לתחום הזה,

פייי, הבחור נהיה אינטליגנט....

נו?
כולם ישנים?
אני צריך להתחיל בלנקוב את שמות המשתמטים?
אמיר, אנחנו על אותו קו.
לאינטלגנט הצעיר: יש לך משהו שימושי?
