Cough. Like, we have this program planning sheet that's like "Okay so here are the class paths you can take for your next years in High School whichever one you choose will be the major you do in college so uh don't choose something you don't like lol" Basically I have 4 days to decide my entire future. But what do I choose?? Health and Biotech, because I wanted to be an EMT Drama Arts and Design academy, because I wanted to be in the backstage crew for movies and Television or ICT, because I wanted to learn about computers, how to build them and stuffs. Gah. I also have my entire English grade due next week. Literally, it's this huge project worth 500 something points which is basically my entire English grade. The program planning thing is due on Friday. I have a concert on Friday with 2 songs I have solos in. YOSAC concert on next week. Jeez. Anyone else dealing with this kinda stress?
o.o Um that's a horrible way to run a school planning program. My school just gives us a catalog and tells us to find labels. Actually, that's really screwed up. Our school's starting to digitize the school sign-ups for courses, so we have to find bar code labels, and they give us just a week to get our AP forms signed and get 15 labels from teachers we don't even know. Oh and I have to memorize the cranial nerves, eye parts, and parts of the ears and take the oral tests by next week. Yay me
Don't take ICT if it's about hardware. Technology improves and changes so rapidly that anything you learn will be useless by the time you finish uni.
If it were me, I would devote myself to the one I liked most, then I would go back to school later and be a lesser major.
Since I go to the same school as you, I understand. I had to do. A mini presentation called a pecha kucha(what idiot named it that it sounds like a fucking Mexican dessert) today and I was scared shitless. But I digress, I want to take ict because I enjoy the computeronic stuffs. If you don't pknow what to do, take avid. I think you'd like habit or dads though. Just a thought. And as for the I search, don't stress it, no biggie.
You couldn't be farther from wrong. Uni will teach you about the theories and _current_ applications of those theories, whether hardware or software. It's up to you to properly implement those theories, with guidance from both your professor and the examples you learned in class.
My school offers a lot of stuff. We have one of the only string orchestras in our county(in means of public schools), We have a tech class, where we learn the ins and outs of a 21st century auditorium We also have Culinary, Vetenarian assisting, Robotics club, Anime club, and a brand new video game club <3 But if I were you, go with ICT. You'll learn more and make a ton of more money, not to mention with skills like that, you can probably get a job at Microsoft or Apple.
I'm not wrong. Software is fine to take as it doesn't change often. Hardware does. All talks I've had at my school about it, and my dad - who has a Master's in IT- doesn't work in that sector anymore because he said his info is now useless. Heck, when we built a PC together he thought AMD and Intel still needed different RAM. So before you call me wrong, maybe realise I know what I'm saying. Anyway, let's not carry this on for the sake of the thread. I don't want it closed over a minor argument.
I'm just going to say a couple things, because, well, I need to. First off, I'm in university for this kind of thing. I would think I know what they do and do not teach. Second off, my dad owns and runs a perfectly good IT business, and he's able to keep up with the times. He's 50, and got his degree forever ago from ITT. So don't say that the hardware sector is a useless sector to be in, or that you can't keep up and that your learning will be useless. Your learning isn't useless. And you just have to take the effort to keep up with the times. And yes, this is on topic, as I am helping the OP make an informed decision.
Well alright then. If you think what you're saying benefits the OP, then so be it. However, I still stand behind my original opinion due to personal experience.
