Q. I cannot get access to either of my e-mail addresses from my ISP account on desktop computer, but my notebook allows access. On desktop I get as far as messages, but below that blank. Same way with addresses and folders. My browser is Mozilla Firefox and have checked Tools/Options.
A. Well, you're either lacking some plugin, or you've disabled some plugin or functionality that allows you to display the necessary parts of the page. Get Secunia PSI, it's free for personal use, update any software that that says is outdated, make sure you've got the latest Java, and reinstall the browser to clear any odd limitations you've added to it.
Will I have to do alot of Programming when Im done with my BS in Computer Information Systems?
Q. I am currently going to school to get a BS in Computer Information Systems, and I am taking a intermediate Java class...and I hate it, I hate programming and Im scared I won't be able to get a job that I like if it means that I will have to do a lot of programming. Are there computer jobs when I can be social and like my job?
A. Our Quality/Systems Analyst was the buffer between programmers and the people requesting their work (users).
He translated what the 'users' wanted into a project the programmer's could understand. Although he could program, he worked with people most of the time.
In my job during Y2K, I spent most of my time testing other programmers work. This did involve some programming, but I worked with people most of the time.
A help desk person works with people, but they must be experienced with the system (hardware and software) they are helping with.
I suggest you get help from your school's career development office to find the more 'social' computer related professions. Know any programmers you can ask?
Knowing the more 'social' jobs may help you steer your studies toward that type of work.
PS:
When I was studying I hated C++. But I like programming in COBOL. It might be the language you hate, instead of the skill of programming. They are two different things. Hopefully you will study other languages and find you hated the language, not programming.

What kinds of jobs can I realistically expect to get with an A+ Certification?
Q. I'm 27 years old and I'm already up to my eyeballs in debt. I don't have a lot of time or money to go to school, so I'd just like to know what kinds of jobs are available with an A+ Certification. I'd also be willing to get Network+ or CCNA as well, but I can afford neither the time, nor the money to go to school for two whole years.
A. For an A+ you can usually get a tech support or help-desk job to start out. Network+ is a big help too. My experience has been that a CCNA is great to get but you will have a hard time competing with other CCNA's already out there working. If you like to write software you are more likely to get a programming job with less experience (believe it or not) Get a C# or Java book and start cramming. I have been in IT for almost 15 years. A+ then Novell CNA, MCSE, Domino development, PeopleSoft, SQL, C# etc. You are almost better off figuring out what you like to do and then going after it by learning from books or on YouTube. (bunch of good videos)
Hope this helps.
