Hello there! I'm new to the boards and IT in general. I am very interested in making my interest in the computing and technology world a career for myself. I've always been interested in computers and how they work but admit possess only very basic information on the vast world of IT. I'm planning on applying to college next year in a computer networking program. Will I be completely out of the loop and not able to learn with my little knowledge of computers? I'm prepared to learn, study, and work as hard as possible to succeed my goals of ultimately having a career in the IT department but am unsure that I will grasp everything thrown at me. Surely not every person who is in a computer program is a computing wiz, correct? My second question is if having a speech disability or impairment is going to be a problem with me finding a job after school. I most likely will try for a basic entry level job first, such as the help desk to get my foot in the door, but hope that employers can see past my "disability" and give me a chance to produce. Sorry for the rambling I'm sort of thinking and typing out loud lol. Thanks for the responses!
cliffs:
- do you have to be a computing wiz to understand and learn
- will a speech disability have a negative impact on job searching in IT
Also, is a two-year (associate's) program long enough to get into the field of IT.
