Question
Hi,
I am in my final year studying physics with electronics and currently on my intern with a computer assembling company and i also have a diploma in data processing but i want to graduate and get a high paying job.....My question is in what discipline can i have my Masters or which proffessional course can i write that will make me employable by a telecommunication firm or an Information Technology company??? I'll be glad with your urgent response
Hi Wale:
I would suggest that you take a Masters in software engineering or computer engineering. The competition is fierce for jobs but given the types of companies you want to work for, this is the way to go. You should be able to get in with your physics and electronics background (I presume you mean a Bachelor's degree).
Cheers,
Carlo
