Q. difference between computer science, computer engineering and software engineering?
i love software, OS and web designing which one you think is better for me (from above options) and why?
i love software, OS and web designing which one you think is better for me (from above options) and why?
A. There are a number of viable IT majors. Just figure out what you would like to do. These are all good. You need a 4 year degree. If all you have time for is a 2 year degree then that is ok for starters but you will still need to complete years 3&4. Don't get a certificate type degree or a Devry or ITT Tech degree- not recognized by many employers and credits may not transfer in the future. There are several main Computer majors and their associated career categories and you need to know these just to get the lay of the land. These degree titles are often found in Associates, Bachelors and Masters degree programs. Generally most IT employers are looking for a 4 year Bachelors degree in an IT related major as a minimum requirement. For working people some of these majors are offered by schools in night classes and we are beginning to see online or hybrid online/classroom options available. Depending on the school, a Bachelors degree in an IT field may be a BA or a BS. There does not seem to be any problems for employers with a BA or BS as long as it is a bachelors degree. If you already have a degree in another major, if you have an Associates degree or if you have a bunch or college credits and no degree you can usually find a degree completion program that will allow you to take 14-16 months of classes and graduate with a Bachelors in a computer related major.
Now some of the titles colleges use may consist of different course curriculums. As an example one school may have more programming classes in the same major while another school has fewer. Schools may call their general IT program Computer Information Technology, Computer Information Systems or Computer Information Science. To really tell what the major is about you should look at the courses that a particular school offers in that major. Another point of confusion is job titles you will see. For example, I am called a Computer Systems Engineer but I don't do anything associated with Computer Engineering. One job I had I was Systems Programmer but I did not do any programming. So the titles for majors and for jobs in IT can be very confusing. Sometimes I will hear someone say they want to pursue Computer Science or Computer Engineering and once they find out what it involves they realize that is not what they want to do. If this is old info, that you already know, apologies. Here are the majors and some associated jobs:
Computer Science (CS) - A technical degree which usually has a Programming emphasis - people with this major usually are developing application software, web development, embedded code and robotics. Sometimes depending on the college the degree may cover some more general topics as listed under CIS below. CS is a difficult major and may include a number of advanced math courses. Many CS students find themselves not enjoying programming, not being gifted at it or not having the math and logic skills to be good at programming and they will switch out into CIS. CS majors that are able to graduate can also qualify for jobs listed below under CIS.
Computer Information Systems (CIS) - This may also be called a variety of other names like Information Technology (IT), Information Systems (IS), etc. This is a general technical degree and is the degree that I have. Holders of these degree work in a variety of technical jobs like these:
Computer Technician, Service Center Coordinator, Help Desk Staff, Storage Administrator, Network Administrator, Systems Administrator, Systems Engineer, Enterprise Administrator, Active Directory Administrator, Exchange and Messaging Administrator, Backup Administrator, Disaster Recovery Specialist, Database Administrator, Computing Security Specialist, Corporate IT Acquisition Specialist and Data Center Administrator, just to name a few.
Computer Engineering - This is a technical engineering and design degree. These degree holders get jobs related to designing and manufacturing computer related hardware. Obviously when you think of hardware you think of laptops and PCs but this might be all kinds of computer devices like tablets, processors, memory, storage, networking equipment and components of computers.
Management Information Systems (MIS) - This is a business degree that prepares non-technically trained people to manage projects, budgets and people. Traditionally, senior IT technical pros would eventually be promoted into management positions after years of technical work. The good news is they understood technical challenges their people were working with but the bad news was that some were great tech people but poor people managers. I have had both types of these managers and the new trend is definitely towards these non-technical managers.
Hope this helps.
Best Wishes!

How can i get loan with ease to finance a business in another country?
Q. This business which is surely going to be a success is to be esterblished and operated in another country, how can i get loan from the United states to finance this business. Right now, i don't have any money of mine that i can commit to this business. i would need about $5 million to start. I live in New Jersey,U.S
A. This is a very curious question, I'm not sure if I understand it,
but I can tell you a few hints to consider:
First of all 5 million dollars is a considerable sum of money, and most lenders that I know of would want heavy collateral and
assurances of making sure their money would be paid back with interest.
You would have to show that you are permanently employed, you have at least 30% disposable income to be available, you would have to show the strengths or possibilites of your business venture, from top to bottom, they would have to know the politics of the country you intend to work out of, the exchange rate of the US dollar which changes daily. potential trouble spots that may
come about as a country might nationalize all its assets, and that
includes private business and property, and other confiscations.
The stability of the government in which you intend to do business in and with (you will have to pay their business taxes)
Your lender would ask you such questions as:
If I grant you the money how can you assure me you will repay it within an agreed upon contractual time limit?
Exactly what is the product or service you will be selling?
Have you done a marketing analysis to assure us there is a market for your product or service?
Do you intend to make or buy at wholesale levels?
Will there be inventories to maintain?
What about transportation if needed? USPS/UPS/FEDEX/DHL?
What modes of advertisement do you wish to use?
What do you intend to do to stay away from undercapitalization?
Once in business, what are the possibilities of going broke, or declaring bankruptcy?
Do you intend to use full information technology(IT) management
aids?
Cell phones, printers, MP3s, Ipods, PDAs, main frame computers, lap tops and desk top computers? FAX?
Software costs associated with all IT users, what would be your plan in that department?
See, the lender will require a master plan laid out clear and proper to be able to see what you got, and then decide accordingly.
If you fall short on any of this criteria, the lender migh become
skiddish, and turn down your request for financing.
But these items I have laid out cover the lion's share of questions
you can expect to answer, when the lender comes to call.
Thats my message, good luck.

What field in Information technology offers the best prospects as well as job security?
Q. I am 18 and still deciding on what to do with my life?
A. I will give you information on the 4 common career categories in IT. All these appear to have good future demand and I will give you some article links on that.
