Q. would somebody tell me what i need to do to become one.(education, job experiance ect. ) im in highschool and think i might like to be one but am not sure about everything it is.
A. To be in management, most companies will expect a degree. You can get a bachelors degree in Computer Information Systems and some companies would expect a Masters degree in Computer Science or Information Systems. Degrees won't be enough. You need to walk the walk so learning as much hands on with computers, both hardware and software and networks is going to be key as well and you can get started in a vocational school or junior college with classes for that as well. Vocational schools have LAN/WAN technician programs which can lead to an entry level position as desktop support or helpdesk while you pursue college degrees and certifications. Certification programs help as well because depending upon where you live and how much competition there is for even entry level jobs, you may be required to have Microsoft or Novell or Unix or Cisco certification or all of them. Read everything you can about computers and networking whether books or websites. The more you know the more valuable you will be.
Whats the difference between a computer information systems degree and management information degrees? BA?
Q. Whats the difference between a computer information systems degree and management information degrees? BA.........How is one better than the other? Which would be a better option?
A. Computer Information Systems Degree (CIS) and Management Information Systems (MIS), both are graduation programs/bachelor of science degree.
Some schools will go into computer tech & even programming while others are inclined more towards business utilization of said tech. The CIS curriculum tends to have more tech based, more programming and MIS tends to have more analysis, planning, and business development and truly above all it depends on the school you choose. Some how they lead up to the same jobs and careers.
CIS and MIS are frequently misused and misunderstood programs. It really depends on how the program objectives and courses within them are defined by the schools. Example, if CIS program is offerd by IT or computer science school it is technology geared, in this case CIS program may be more technical in nature and geared towards careers as technology professionals who work directly with the implementation and administration of specific technologies. Similarly, if MIS program is offerd by business/management faculties; MIS programs are geared towards business analysts who aren't involved directly with implementation of technologies, but aspects such as making a business case, rationalizing technologies at an architecture level, managing project teams etc.
Computer Information Systems Degree (CIS) graduation program/degree prepares student for IT fields like IT support specialist, helpdesk entry positions, systems analyst, systems integrator, systems architect, network administrator, applications programmer/analyst, software developer, computer support specialist, engineer, systems administrator, systems programmer, project leader, database administrator, and, business analyst. Students utilize software applications, networks, servers, query database applications for data, create web pages, documentation and lot more using programming, systems analysis, network administration, and database management skills.
After completion of computer information system you acquire basic knowledge of computer and network security.Also, you develop analyzing, assessing, diagnosing, and troubleshooting hardware, software, network, and other desktop issues ability. Also, you develop technical skills in maintaining hardware systems, software systems, and user accounts. One learns to communicate effectively and appropriately with customers, peers, staff, and vendors.

Management information systems is the study of technology's role in making strategic business decisions. Management information systems is a business field that extends into technology similar to information systems is a technology field that extends into business.
The MIS field covers all major areas of information technology and gives a high level of knowledge on business concepts and the information systems applications needed to create solutions for contemporary business problems.

Reformatting your Windows XP computer will erase everything on your hard drive and reinstall the operating system. To avoid losing your data (documents, pictures, music, etc.), you will want to backup your information prior to reformatting. See the ITS Help Desk Personal Data Backup Support Center for more information. After you have reformatted your computer, you will need to reinstall all of your personal data, as well as any software products you may use (for example, Microsoft Office, iTunes, Symantec AntiVirus, etc.).
Reformatting your Windows XP computer has three main parts:
* Reformatting the computer from your operating system CD.
* Reinstalling the drivers that came with your computer.
* Running Windows Update to reinstall all security updates and patches.
Please contact the ITS Help Desk (384-4357) prior to reformatting your computer if you have questions about any of these processes involved.
NOTE: If you have a network connection, please unplug from the network before starting installation.
1. First, make sure that your computer is set to Boot to CD. This is a different procedure depending on your computer. When your computer first boots look for an option to enter the BIOS settings. Under the BIOS settings find the "Boot Order" and make sure the CD-ROM is set to boot first. If you have any problems with this please contact the ITS Help Desk at 319-384-HELP.
2. With the Windows XP CD in the CD-ROM drive, save your BIOS settings and exit.
3. If you've done everything correctly you should be asked to "Press Any Key to Boot from CD".
Boot from CD
4. After installing the necessary setup files, Windows XP will display your partitions. Delete any existing partitions by selecting the desired partition with the arrow keys, press D to delete and then L to confirm the deletion.
Delete Partition
5. You should now have only one option, "Unpartitioned Space". Press Enter to install Windows XP to the unpartitioned space.
Create Partition
6. When asked how you would like to format the partition, select "Format using the NTFS file system".
Format Partition
7. After the partition is formatted, Windows XP will begin installation. The computer will reboot. While the computer is rebooting, please do not touch any keys. From now on the screens will look like the following:
Begin Installation
8. Enter your product key. If you purchased Windows XP from the IMU Bookstore, the product key will be located on the back of the sleeve your CD came in. If you are reformatting using a Windows XP CD that came with your computer, the product key may be located on a sticker somewhere on your computer case.
Product Key
9. When asked for Network Settings, choose "Typical Settings".
Typical Settings
10. Windows XP will now complete installation. Upon completion you will need to re-install the drivers for your hardware (Modem, Sound, Video, etc). Many PC companies such as Dell, Gateway, and HP will include a "Driver Installation CD" with the computer. Simply insert the CD and follow the instructions. Otherwise, you can download current drivers from many manufacturer's support web sites. If you have any problems please contact the ITS Help Desk at 319-384-HELP.
11. Next turn on the Internet Connection Firewall. Instructions to turn on the Internet Connection Firewall can be found here.
12. Reconnect your computer to the Network.
13. Run Windows Update by opening Internet Explorer, then clicking on Tools -> Windows Update. Follow the on-screen instructions for installing critical updates.
14. Restart your computer.

how much does an Apple Store Genius earn?
Q. Just wondering what the typical wages were for an Apple Genius at one of the Apple Retail Stores, in the San Francisco bay area.
A. it depends on how long they have been there and what certifications they have. i know in toronto if you just have your desktop and laptop ACDT and ACPT certs your making 15 to 20 depending onfull or part time but if you also have your ACTC technical cordinator cert or ACSA systems admin youll be making more they will probably move you off genius bar pretty quick though and put you into something that is more suiting to your brain power. NOTE if your going to apple for genius bar you should have your ACPT ACDT and ACHDS. being the desktop laptop and help desk certifications. the test numbers you will need to take at a prometric testing facility to get these certifications are 9L0 401 (helpdesk and the software side of desktop and laptop) 9L0 004 (hardware half of desktop cert) and the 9L0 206 (hardware side of laptop cert) if you take these you should be able to get the job
