Career In Information Technology & Communication (I.C.T.)

"Do you still have a career in I.C.T?" When computer technology started during the early stages of our modern present times, the small group of people who are knowledgeable in computer started as a sub-group or sub-team of either under the administration department, or finance & accounting department, or engineering department.

The small section turned into and became a computer department as a separate entity, during the transformation and recognition of its importance and functionality. Nowadays, the whole computer or I.T. department could be the whole company itself. The company's business pertains to I.T. solutions or services for another company requiring their skills and technology.

Where and what is then the integration career in I.T. as many of you have asked. The answer varies and dependent on the requirement of certain companies, also your qualification, your age and most important your computer skills. Your know-how gives a great deal since it is directly related to your experience.

Even if you are not working in a company but uses the computer system at home or even at the computer school, at computer rental, or Internet café, it adds up to your experience. All you need to do is apply or continue practicing several techniques using specific computer software implemented for everyday personal use.

Back to our original questions, do you still have a career in I.C.T.? The answer is both yes and no. When I say YES, you should start at a younger age, let's say early 20's (20-25 years old) by learning a special skill, like applying your college degree knowledge or start to master computer related application. Example of which is web page designing, learning accounting system (even if you are not an accountant), learn and master a computer language for programming and developing software. But, when I say NO it means, it will not be a career anymore because you will no longer work for somebody or in a company but work for yourself on your own company, all you need is apply what you learn in your computer lessons.

If you are not yet convince to study with us why don't you just try us because what you will learn will be beneficial as your background and experience. Other reason they keep saying is that "I am too old already and let my children do it for me." But, don't you realize that they (your kids) do not have that time to spend with you teaching, so why not do it yourself and learn yourself the intricacies of computer technology. And, why don't you follow others that they are the one being asked by their kids because they are more knowledgeable in computer than their kids. Isn't it it's a better feeling that you are the one teaching your kids than your kids is the one teaching you.

Just follow our advice and undergo our tutorial service, a service to our co-Filipino's for a better Philippine citizen, will you allow non-Filipinos to develop their computer skills ahead of us again? A question I leave to you to answer and digest.
