Dear Listers:
I need your support to further my education. Please send $100 in
small bills to the address below. IF this is not possible, please
e-mail your "two-cents" to the address above concerning the following.
I will attempt to be brief.
I obtained a bachelors degree in mathematics, concentrating on
statistics. Later, I spent two years in community college here in
Ottawa learning GIS technology. My job experiences include twelve years
in the army (full-time and part-time) and four years as assistant
manager of a warehouse trading in automotive parts. The last employment
for which I received financial consideration was writing for the
Smithsonian Institution. It is now two years since that employment and
my attempts to find work either as a technician or as a freelance writer
have borne little encouragement.
I am considering taking a fast-track computer course to better my
prospects within and without the GIS community. One programme offers
comprehensive training as a programmer specialising in databases: VB,
Java, Oracle in all their glory. The other is in E-business: i-Net+,
Java, Perl, XML, Visual Studio.NET, a bit of Oracle. Both also deal with
un-technicals (?) like theory, teamwork, management issues, blah, blah.
QUESTION: If it were you, which programme would you take and why? What
of their futures? Who does these types of things and what are the cool
kids learning?
Humbly, I await your comments.
