In choosing career, you should consider your competitors… let say you want to take your time study JAVA… in what side of JAVA? Business application? Like integration of SAP? Where you use JAVA as their development language for 3-Tier features… but JAVA knowledge alone is not helpful… you should consider taking your time to study Databases and its Architectures, how to use it, manage, maintain, troubleshoot and importantly how to write using your this language.
Oh… Did I say competitors? How many JAVA programmers/developers out there? In the same field you are taking?
If you want to be at networking side… you got a CCNA certification but how many are there? Having that kind of cert? Considering that these equipments are not affordable in every organization. How many companies in CEBU using CISCO? How many graduates every semester? And how many are those who were on the field already but landed different job because nobody gives them space on their field.
As what javapenguin talks about… it is so broad now… all you have to do is to get ready and wait when your LUCK may possibly come… but never forget to see what’s in front of you… if you were a VB/ACCESS before then you must be worried now, because the demand of the market is constantly changing…
Perhaps you may say this way….”I had Master this kind of skills…but it was 5 years ago, now I found my LUCK…too bad another IT guys came on bringing a new Technology… what a life…. I guess I don’t have such luck…”
That’s why a lot of IT guys shifting different field… from CISCO to SAP, from SAP to JAVA, from WEB to ENGINEERING… depending where that LUCK driving them.
Just believe what the BIG BOSS up there can do for you... he's the Great LUCK provider
