What do you know about your program of study now that you wish someone had told you when you were choosing a major (something that would have made it easier to choose CIT).
There is no end to learning and taking on new challenges in IT, I don’t think I’ll ever run out of new things that I want to dig into.
What advice would you give to current or prospective CIT students?
All disciplines in IT relate to one another. I have found that taking an interest and staying up-to-date on as many topics inside and outside of my IT discipline has helped me succeed in my career where others fall short.
