I'm a fresh college graduate, in Economics
I really don't like Economics that much, but want to go into business with some IT stuff also. Eventually I'm thinking of getting a Masters of Information Systems Management or a MBA with an IT focus.
I'm like a lot of people who likes computer/network stuff and knows a fair share, but nothing extraordinary, just a little bit of everything.
What are some essential IT skills that I should learn to make myself competitive?
I obviously can't go the engineering route or computer science since I don't have that background and it would probably take a long time to learn programming.
What are some stuff that I can learn on my own that would definitely be helpful in an IT environment/workplace? Basically, there is always on the job training, but before then, what do I need to possess in my resume/skill section to get myself the interview/job.
Are network administrators fun? Does it require much? Is the pay OK? What other kind of IT jobs are interesting that has a business focus too maybe?
Also, any good books I can get at Barnes and Noble or something? Not textbooks since I don't have any place that sells them.
