I am 27, taking Master Degree in IT 'coz I want to start a career in IT. I had engineering background, including some work experience b4. Now I feel that what I learn @school is not enough and is not so hands on. People said I should specialize. I am interested in 2 fields: Programming/ Database or Networking/ Security. If I take Prog/ DB path, I must learn prog languanges like SQL, VB, .NET technologies, C++/ C#, & Java. I am sure I can do it, but I don't know how much time needed to learn and I heard that the salary usually is slightly less competitive. If I take Nwork/ Sec, I still need to learn but I don't think it requires excellent brain, thus it will be easier. But then if I administer a system, I'll need to be ready 24/7, which seems a bit too demanding for me. I'm still not sure which one I should choose, or should I learn both (I would be a versatile worker if I can do that). I also don't know the prospect in the future.
Anybody with work experience will share with me?
