<table id="post39238963" class="tborder" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr valign="top"><td class="alt1" id="td_post_39238963" style="border-right: 0px solid #CACACA"> I'm 27 years old. I've got almost zero work experience due to playing poker full-time for many years. I do pretty well so I'm not hurting financially and I don't need a job at the moment. I'd much rather pay extra money and get more higher education than earn certificates and take a really low paying help desk job.
I've got a bachelors degree in marketing which does not interest me (not enough depth, not technical enough, too many irrational co-workers). I've been thinking of going back to school and getting a masters in management and information systems. I should be able to get into the program as it's just a state-school and I had a good GPA in undergrad. Of course, I may have to take a few classes prior to being admitted.
I'm not too interested in programming, but I understand I will have to develop some skills. Job fields that have peaked my interest are data scientist (big data), database admin, intelligence/security analyst,
My questions:
1 - is this a good plan to go about my career change?
2- what IT jobs should I be looking for? I'm interested in ideas, big picture thinking, analysis, and creative problem solving. I'm not a math or stats wizard, but I possess good logic and reasoning skills.
Thanks for any tips you guys can give me!
