ECPI is not a real college. It’s a technical school where you learn a trade and happen to receive a degree at the end. While I don’t consider myself a skilled writer, it’s probably my most marketable talent, and what I’d like to end up doing for a living.Who wouldn’t want to be paid to drink hot chocolate and try to come up with ambiguous alliterative allegories?
What I don’t want is a job working at a help desk.
When I first signed up, my “major” was Network Security. When you’re only lined up to get an Associate’s degree, you’re pretty much guaranteeing yourself a help desk job. I don’t think I have to tell you, the Internet, how shitty that job can be. I can’t spend eight hours a day telling people to restart their PC and/or install Firefox. I just can’t. So I changed my major to “Database Programming,” because programming seemed more fun than subnetting.
My last ten weeks have been spent learning SQL. For Microsoft Access.
