of course i haven't seen their textbooks yet, but dear ndndndxiaomayi bro.....how hard can a basic diploma be? private basic dip = 1st year polytechnic standard
the only hard stuff i see are those later modules like object-oriented programming but considering that i used to write programs using VC++ years ago, those are not a problem and i can pick them up fast (not boasting or anything).
anyway, i've decided to go for the ITE one, better. More design-oriented as compared to more programming-oriented.
1) this term "IT" generally is used to refer to jobs which consist of general hardware / software troubleshooting / maintenance and mainly database / networking / servers. so more or less, usually when people do IT job, mainly is in these few areas. Those like software engineering types (programming etc.) are another area altogether. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's what a software engineer used to tell me.
5) very good idea! ha ha, i know nuts about networking.
However, i think the downside to this is that if
40 PCs access the Windows XP on the network on the same time, it's
gonna be quite slow, as compared to the Windows XP installed on the
PC's HDD itself.if it's convenient, what IT job are u working as now? system analyst? network engineer?
How hard a basic diploma can be - I've got no idea. It depends on the modules. Some modules you can ace through, but some modules are just not so easy. It may look easy in the synopsis, but when you really do it, it's not.
OOP at the beginning is easy, wait till you start writing algorithms. It's not as simple as you think.
1. No right or wrong over this. Some think software engineers are engineers, while others think otherwise.

Science will be aiming at least dip. For IT, unlikely I will be aiming anything higher than the dip I have now. More likely, will be aiming for the certifications in the networking and security fields.

since ur job is so slack, then u concentrate on your studies lor.
u want challenging job? wait until u quit lor and find your own challenging job.
no lah, my course starts Jan 2010, so still a long time away.
actually, i don't really mean "challenging job" lah, but more like meaningful job.
yeah, meaningful is the word, not challenging ("challenging" means an o' lvl guy doing accountant's job)

What is meaningful?

Can you just decide what you really want? This ding-dong-ing is just a complete waste of time.

meaningful = doing the things u like. In this case, the job scope has to be something related to your interest / passion
in my case, filing, photocopying, printing, dealing with shipping matters really not my stuff.
i go home nowadays feeling so empty and dejected, so obviously, that's not a meaningful job.
for you, since u deal network, u feel very "on" during your job right? and u go home feeling full and like a real man right? that's what a meaningful job is about.
