I'm currently studying Computer Science and I've come to realize that i really hate programming and it's making me miserable. I'm not really sure what else I can study which involves computers.. I was thinking IT but what does IT have to offer? and does it have any sort of programming in it?

Many people wanting to work with computers consider being Computer Science majors and this degree will include many Programming and advanced Math courses. It is not unusual for students to become discouraged because they are not gifted at Programming or that they don't enjoy doing it. There are many other Computer career options than developing software. Here are a few non-Programming ones below. These would usually require a Computer Information Systems or other similar degree.

Responsible for Security group creation and memberships, server patching, anti-virus protection updates, password changes and any automated mechanisms that make these changes. These positions may be divided into server and desktop teams. Tier 2 support.

Enterprise Administrator - Handles Enterprise support and design issues. Tier 3 support.

Active Directory Administrator - Designs and administers Active Directory infrastructure, AD policies, access permissions, roles, group policies, separation of duties.

Exchange and Messaging Administrator - maintains mail systems servers, other mail related devices and the company messaging infrastructure.

Backup Administrator - Maintains backup devices and determines backup strategies so data that was deleted accidentally or intentionally can be recovered. Design and control how and when data is backed up, where the backups are stored and how long the backups are retained. They will test to be sure backups are valid and usable.

Disaster Recovery Specialist - Plans for disaster events so the company data and infrastructure can be brought back online as quickly as possible after a fire, flood, earthquake, terrorism or other disaster event. Plans for failover of services to alternate locations, if the primary location is not available.

Database Administrator - Maintains the company databases which may include customer and sales records, billing information, inventory and other data.

Computing Security Specialist - A company's biggest asset is its data and the Computing Security Specialist will work to try to keep that data protected from loss. They may be dealing with and defending against viruses, hoaxes, malware, keyloggers, phishing attacks, internal attacks and domestic and foreign intrusion. Develops monitoring and interception systems, filters and strategies and works with appropriate government agencies.

Corporate IT Acquisition Specialist - Works with acquired outside companies to establish migration into the corporate computing infrastructure.

They are responsible for physical security and may review badge reader and camera information to be sure that only individuals with proper access are getting close to the company's servers and other critical devices. Also, maintain backup power devices (UPS or generators).



In a small business the list of jobs above might be performed by one or two people doing all these jobs. In a large Enterprise environment this could be hundreds of people.



Best wishes!

I'm making good profit with penny stock

Check here http://trade-pennystock.checkhere.info



Many new investors are lured to the appeal of a penny stock due to the low price and potential for rapid growth which may be as high as several hundred percent in a few days. Similarly, severe loss can occur and many penny stocks lose all of their value in the long term. Accordingly, the SEC warns that penny stocks are high risk investments and new investors should be aware of the risks involved but you can even make very big money. These risks include limited liquidity, lack of financial reporting, and fraud. A penny stock is a common stock that trades for less than $5 a share. While penny stocks generally are quoted over-the-counter, such as on the OTC Bulletin Board or in the Pink Sheets, they may also trade on securities exchanges, including foreign securities exchanges. In addition, penny stocks include the securities of certain private companies with no active trading market. Although a penny stock is said to be "thinly traded," share volumes traded daily can be in the hundreds of millions for a sub-penny stock. Legitimate information on penny stock companies can be difficult to find and a stock can be easily manipulated.

In binary options you will have the possibility to predict the movement of various assets such as stocks, currency pairs, commodities and indices. Learn how you can make money trading binary options https://tr.im/CyBbP

An option has only two outcomes (hence the name “binary” options). This is because the value of an asset can only go up or down during a given time frame. Your task will be to predict if the value of an asset with either go up or down during a certain amount of time.

IT is more about...how to use computers as tools of information, and how to store info on them. How to use them to improve business, communication, education etc.



It doesn't *have* to involve programming, but a base knowledge of programming helps one in IT.



IT is more about helping *others* with their computers :D
