Computer Training Success

Hi every one,
just wonder if management information system is the best major for this job? Or I have to major in Computer Engineering in order to have better technical skill?
Is bachelor degree good enough for me to find a job right after I graduate? Or I have to pursue M.A to make myself a competitive candidate?
Is interpersonal communication skill extremely important for this kind of job? Do you have to interact a lot with people?
Lastly, these days, I’ve heard a lot about outsourcing in technology and computer fields. I don’t know if computer system analysts are also outsourced, too?
I’ve just heard of this career, so I hope that you guys who know a lot about this field can provide me some basic knowledge about its outlook, salary, and training.
Thanks a lot.

I want to transfer my default speech profile to another computer so i don’t have to do the speech training all over again.

When i took a weight training class in high school we determined our one rep max for each exercise and put the info into a computer program and were then able to print a several week workout for how many reps of how much weight for which exercises each day.

Does anyone know of similar software?

I’ve seen ads for such companies as Geek Squad and Make It Work in home computer support companies. I think this is a much needed service they provide and they do software and hardware support, repairs and troubleshooting. I have been to some of the websites, but there doesn’t seem to be much info about what training a tech needs to work for companies like these. Do you need an IT or computer science degree or do the companies train their own people?

Anyone can respond with their experience and knowledge, Thanks for your help

change a field from signed to unsigned, to save a small amount of memory.

allow the program tape to be recorded onto, supposedly onto blank training tape. (curiously the intended code to do the recording is mysteriously replaced by other code that overwrites the program)
To daxbert:

I. Person in question made a special appointment with the document custodian for the project. (Someone had had the foresight to ensure there was a secure copy of documentation -presumably to prevent this sort of foolery). So the secure copy was doctored, changed from signed to unsigned.
Later on it was realised the original design was correct, the signed field was needed.
What kind of person would bypass existing procedures to save memory.
Person in question is named Sandra White. May be still on the job. (this was 1979 in Canberra)

II. Program tape for a submarine.
Some fool decided to use the program tape as black box recorder.
Unbelievable stupidity.
Funny coincidence that the planned code change wasn’t the one that was issued. Hard to see how it could get worse than the stupidity of writing on the program tape. But it did. The code change, intended to allow writing, corrupted the tape. Culprits are presumably still on the job, raking in $$$
I never suggested there was a memory saving, or any sort of saving.

A good friend of mine got a BS degree in computer science, and has been searching for a job where he can use his degree, with no success for a year now. He can read, write, and understand various programming techniques and algorithms
Trained in Turbo C++, Visual C++ (Console Only), and Delphi. I am concerned about him because he is broke all the time, and all the jobs he can find are like housekeeping and things like that. He lives in ND. Does anybody have any suggestions that I can pass on to him as to how and where to look for the job he wants?

i have this C++ project to do and around 35 were given out of which 1 has to be selected.But i can’t understand what the following topics mean:
computer based training,
k-map tool for simplifying logical circuits
program language interpretor
compiler(do i have to create one???)
sql interpretor
IDE logo programming
floor plan designer

if you know what any one of these topics mean, please do answer.
thanks
i dont think there’s anything wrong in knowing what these topics mean!! only if u like a project, it will turn out well.

I know computers inside and out, I’ve been a professional technician (electronics, communication) for the past seven years, I’ve had A+ training (haven’t taken the test yet though), I’m used to dealing with customers in their homes, and I have good people skills. What more would I need to do to get hired?
Also, I’d appreciate it if you’d tell me a typical geek squad salary if you know it, since I can’t find that info anywhere.

When a student passes BTech or MCA he will get a job in an MNC like Satyam,Wipro ,TCS etc
Then he will be given training on related skills like java .net etc
Then what is the need of computer institutes?
