Ms. Burton April 27, 2009

**Part I—__INTRODUCTION and What I Want to Find Out__** <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> ...........The topic of my ISearch paper is what I want as a career and the colleges I will need to attend to get there. I don’t really know what to major in when I go to college. Before I know it the next few years will quickly pass by and it will be graduation day. My class will don caps and gowns and prepare to take our place as rulers of the world. We will be in the real world, living our lives, trying to make the best out of life. In order for us to have the good life we will need to be able to work and make the big bucks. Although I know that money is not the key to, it helps. Money I necessary if I want to have the finer things in life and I either have to find a way to earn it (legally) or I need to have a bunch of really rich relatives. For me, finding a good, high paying job is important because I do have very, very expensive tastes and I don’t have rich relatives. <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">.........So, what am I going to do after high school to set the stage so that I can become a millionaire? I can become a brain surgeon. I can become a top Chief Operating Executive. I can become ?? <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> I know that I want to pursue a career in computer science but there are so many areas that I do not know exactly what I want to concentrate on. Some of the areas I can explore are Programming, Networking, Information Technology and Professional services.

......... I already know a little bit about networking and Information Technology find that it’s not too hard to do. I have taken a few networking courses and have done networking hookups for a couple of offices. Network administrators make a great deal of money and don’t necessarily work hard for the amount they get paid. Unfortunately, they are sometimes required to do tasks not included in their normal job responsibilities. Many people think that a network administrator is also responsible for repairing whatever is wrong with the computer itself rather than focusing on the network. Lost passwords, stolen cords or a crashing hard drive are not problems for a Networking administrator to have to handle.

........ I have also taken a few classes in information technology and enjoyed them. Maybe my focus should be on information technology and the application of various information programs. I enjoy the variety of things that I get to work on and the thrill of solving issues that others are unable to solve. It is amazing how grateful a person can be for 5 mouse clicks, especially when it's 5 clicks that they didn't know how to make. I sometimes get frustrated with trying to find the right examples to get a person to understand what I need or want them to do. I hope that the research that I do while preparing this paper will help me realize the direction I want my studies in computer science to take. I hope it will be a very valuable project. <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: #6600cc; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> ..........I thought that getting information would be easy to get. While researching, I thought I found many good resources. At first I thought that I had a pretty good chance that I would get tons of information. However, getting all the answers to my research question was hard. When I went to the school library, I could only find a few books on my topic. When I looked for them, I could only find a few of the books I was looking for! I picked one book, but it gave me very little information that I really needed.
 * <span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Part II—__The Story of My Search__ **

..........There I was, with a topic that I couldn't find a book with the information I needed! I suddenly felt that maybe, just maybe, this was the wrong topic! I then realized that the answer to my lack of information was in my topic itself! The computer! I went right away and started to look on websites for job information. Although I had a little trouble finding information on computer technology jobs, I went to the Occupational Handbook website and I knew I had gone to the right place. I quickly found articles that had all the information I needed to answer most of my research questions. This site then gave suggestions about schools. Thank goodness because I had no direction until the site made some of these suggestions. **<span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Part III-__Results__ ** //<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif';">For my sample paper I did not re-write the rest of these notes. I have included them so that you can see what info I had to work with. // <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">...........For those interested in a computer technician career, the job outlook for computer technicians (and other techies) seems bright. A computer technician's starting salary will vary depending on many factors, including location, experience, and certifications earned. However, regardless of starting salary, a computer technician career offers high growth potential. employment, 2016 ** |||| **<span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Change, 2006-16 ** |||| **<span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Detailed statistics ** ||  ||

They usually work about 40 hours a week, but if their employer requires computer support over extended hours, they may be “on call” for rotating evening or weekend work. Overtime may be necessary when unexpected technical problems arise. Like other workers who type on a keyboard for long periods, computer support specialists and systems administrators are susceptible to eyestrain, back discomfort, and hand and wrist problems such as carpal tunnel syndrome. Education and training. //**<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 160%; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';"> Due to the wide range of skills required, there are many paths of entry to a job as a computer support specialist or systems administrator. Training requirements for computer support specialist positions vary, but many employers prefer to hire applicants with some formal college education. A bachelor’s degree in computer science or information systems is a prerequisite for some jobs; other jobs, however, may require only a computer-related associate degree. And for some jobs, relevant computer experience and certifications may substitute for formal education. For systems administrator jobs, many employers seek applicants with bachelor’s degrees, although not necessarily in a computer-related field. A number of companies are becoming more flexible about requiring a college degree for support positions. In the absence of a degree, however, certification and practical experience are essential. Certification training programs, offered by a variety of vendors and product makers, may help some people to qualify for entry-level positions. Other qualifications. //**<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 160%; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';"> People interested in becoming a computer support specialist or systems administrator must have strong problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills because troubleshooting and helping others are vital parts of the job. The constant interaction with other computer personnel, customers, and employees requires computer support specialists and systems administrators to communicate effectively on paper, via e-mail, over the phone, or in person. Strong writing skills are useful in preparing manuals for employees and customers. Advancement. //**<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 160%; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';"> Beginning computer support specialists usually work for organizations that deal directly with customers or in-house users. Support specialists may advance into positions in which they use what they have learned from customers to improve the design and efficiency of future products. Job promotions usually depend more on performance than on formal education. Eventually, some computer support specialists become software engineers, designing products rather than assisting users. Computer support specialists in hardware and software companies often enjoy great upward mobility; advancement sometimes comes within months of becoming employed. Entry-level network and computer systems administrators are involved in routine maintenance and monitoring of computer systems, typically working behind the scenes in an organization. After gaining experience and expertise, they often are able to advance to more senior-level positions. For example, senior network and computer systems administrators may make presentations to executives and managers on the security of the company computer network. They also may translate the needs of an organization into a set of technical requirements based on the available technology. As with support specialists, administrators may become software engineers involved in system and network design. Job prospects. //**<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';"> Job prospects should be best for college graduates who possess the latest technological skills, particularly graduates who have supplemented their formal education with relevant work experience. Employers will continue to seek computer specialists who possess strong fundamental computer skills combined with good interpersonal and communication skills. Due to the demand for computer support specialists and systems administrators over the next decade, those who have strong computer skills but do not have a college degree should continue to qualify for some entry-level positions <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Other computer specialists include computer programmers, computer software engineers, computer systems analysts, and computer scientists and database administrators. Other workers who respond to customer inquiries are customer service representatives. <span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 160%; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> As a computer technician, some of the Professional Organizations that I could be a part of are: <span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 160%; font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"> ·  <span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 160%; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Association of Support Professionals, 122 Barnard Ave., Watertown, MA 02472.

With such a broad set of skills needed, a combination of college and certification courses is often necessary. Starting salaries range from $48,000 to $58,000. College is not for everyone; the choice depends on your individual situation. That said, many employers prefer potential employees who have a college degree, particularly for higher-level jobs such as management positions. However, with the gap between the number of high tech jobs available and the candidates to fill them, the computer industry offers perhaps one of the best opportunities for those without a college education to find decent employment. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"> ·  <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">A college degree program lasts from two to four years.
