What are good managerial jobs with an associates of applied science?

Bachelor of Science in Applied Computing Jobs?

  • What kind of jobs can I get with a Bachelor of Science in Applied Computing from ASU? My ultimate goal right now is to one day become a professional Information Technology employee for a major corporation/company. I enrolled at Arizona State University for Fall 2008. I plan to major in Applied Computing, because it seems the closest program that's related to Information Technology. Here's a link to the description of the program: http://newcollege.asu.edu/programs/app_comp/ Did I make a right choice in degree programs? What other kind of jobs can I get with an Applied Computing degree? Any idea which concentration of Applied Computing generally generates the most income on average? You can see there are three concentrations where you can only pick one to study. I have interests in all three, so I want to just pick the one which will have the most potential for higher income. Any info/advice would help! Thanks in advance!

    Start http://www.asu.edu/studentaffairs/career/. If you have any questions they couldn't answer, or want more detail, post a follow-up. I've got a BS and MSc in Computer Science, which might be similar to Applied Computing, and enjoy confabulation more than is likely appropriate.

What has seemingly progressed me farther than anything else in my IT career has been the classes (and activities) I almost blew off as fluff -- Public speaking, English classes, business classes and being a member of student government and managing a $150k budget, and having to present our work to the president. This may (and probably) will differ from others, but you don't make the big bucks in the IT trenches. You make it in middle to upper management. Take some time to enjoy a few business classes, write, write, write. Find things to work on, apply for some grants for local organizations, and learn how to organize, explain, and help others comprehend information. Take time to read non IT works. Never be to sure of yourself.

Directly practice leadership in college (which differs from management).
