❓ Help College IT Track

[Javier Juan]

hi po! incoming 3rd year college student po ako and we will now decide kung anong track po yung pipiliin namin. for me, im stuck sa choice and can't decide if Track 1 (Programming) or Track 3 (Networking). honestly po, passion ko po talaga mag coding kaya nag tinake ko po talaga yung IT. but lately, hindi ko na po maramdaman yung passion na yun. maybe because sobrang na-exhaust ako, or because of AIs? and during 2nd semester ko nung 2nd year, doon ko na po na-discover yung networking. it was very hard lalo na't cisco, but may natutunan naman po ako.

now, i must decide on what track will I pursue. for me, I want to take track 3. BUT, maraming ayaw sa track 3 dahil daw po sa dami ng gastos and OJT and Capstone. is this true po ba? so, Track 1 might seem like the easier way out sa college. Its like "to survive" or "to challenge". and hindi po ako maka-decide dahil sa takot. If I want to pursue track 1 naman, i guess I'll reignite that passion ulit and start to learn ulit from the start and practice.

Any message or tips or advice po para sakin? so that I'll come up my final decision. Thank you very much po for reading this.

for me lang ah, .. mas mag focus ka sa networking. Y? if balak mo mag apply sa mga private company yan tlga una nilang hinahahap. karamihan sa mga i.t. grads ngayon pag nasa production floor na eh parang nagiging kamote.
may kakilala ako grad ng ST* pero simple file sharing at printer sharing hindi nila magawa.. ultimo network cabling walang alam.. bawat galaw google search ginagawa.. Sobrang nakakahiya un..
karamihan sa mga private company ngayon, Program based na.. ang kailangan lang nila eh yung mag me maintenance ng running program nila , more on technical trouble shooting lang..

yung programming requires "creative" skills kaya yun pwede mo gawing basis sa choice mo, how creative you are, otherwise dun ka sa networking

Actually, depende talaga kung saan ka nag eenjoy, ako kasi sa programming, mas gusto ko yung challenge na hindi ko alam kung tama pa ba ginagawa ko, malalaman ko nalang pagka run, tapos edit edit nalang, pag gumana, sobrang laking tuwa ko na kasi polishing nalang, tapos di ko namamalayan 20hrs na pala ako nakaupo sa pc, mabilis talaga tumakbo ang oras pag gusto mo yung ginagawa mo eh. hahaha
