Im sick of IT allready and im 3 months from completing my Batchelor of IT, ive completed my Diploma of Software Development and was offered a 1.5 year addon cource to get my Batchelor (which for the record, was an utter waste of time for anything other than the piece of paper at the end - this is probably the main reason why i lost all motivation, but thats a whole other story)

Being a techy will get you no where, and its shit work, and add to that there are so many people in the industry - hell, my mate has 0 qualifications and hes doing fairly well for a starter Smile

Im glad i chose software development over tech work though, i loath tech work... while im perfectly capable its just an asslike job Sad

Any courses you'd reccomend for linux / unix?

companies or agencies migrating suites of applications from MS or other proprietary databases and applications over to open source (mysql, sysbase, postgresql, etc mixed with apache, php, java, etc) with accompanying web-enabled front ends
or
(and this is what our web unit is always searching for) business analysts who can look at groups seeking to automate or migrate disparate systems and business practices over to online and efficient business processes - it's not coding or application development - but helping business bring together their requirements and needs so they can concentrate on doing their jobs well rather wondering how-the-hell to jobs their jobs not so badly.

These are the 2 things i will be aiming for when i get into the workforce, im hoping the real thing will get me over the bad experiences at uni Smile

Being a pleb software devel guy is going to get u no where as what costs businesses ~80k a year for a software dev, they can get in india for 8k. Best place to be is telling the indians what to do Smile

The Diploma of software devel is VERY good, we focused primarily on business applications with Java as well as things as project management, security, analysis, so for 2 years of full time work you will come out prepared to take on the above roles
