I’m very open as to the location of the job. So long as it is a desirable location to my family in terms of quality of life then I’m willing to relocate anywhere for the right job. I’ve always been this way and it has served me well.
The jobs above all take advantage of my software engineering background as well as what I am learning in the Web and Video Production classes I am taking. For example the VP, Professional Services would ideally be managing the delivery of solutions to businesses that have a serious software engineering component as well as having a heavy web and / or video component.
I’ve included an image of the first mainframe computer I programmed an IBM 360/20. When I first started programming this machine the one I used didn't have any hard drives, it only had tape and punched cards as data media. When we finally got hard drives for it and they ran a statistical program I wrote to do item analysis for analyzing test results, the hard drives shimmied across the floor the read and write heads were moving so fast.
I agree that the area has to be desirable and provide a quality of life in the process.
ReplyDeleteRe: your picture: Isn't it amazing how far the computer industry has come from a computer needing a full room to a single small box and laptops!
It come a long way computer you no longer need to run it off of start up disks and disks for every program you need to run thanks to hard drives that is no longer a problem
ReplyDeleteI feel like all of these were a good choice to research. I can see you fitting well into all of them. I like the way you think about your future career after school.
ReplyDeleteI may be mistaken, but didn't you say in class that your previous job was as a programmer? I think it's interesting that you are interested in being an art director. Obviously, you must be going back to school to learn something new but I find it fascinating that your new path is so unrelated to your old path.
