And Here We Go Again
Nov 6, 2011
Come Tuesday, I will once again become a full time student. I’m not really sure how I feel about that, given that coupled with work I feel like I’m slowly sinking into a pit of someone I do not recognize but I know it is a necessity; and surprisingly enough, I’m pursuing a different path than the one I was sure was the best one for me. Rather than pursue a Bachelor’s in Web Development, I have instead decided to pursue one in Advanced Networking– I suppose a lot of that is due to the over-saturation of the web developer market and the fact that I seem to stumble upon more Network Administrator Jobs than web developers.
Now don’t get me wrong web development is still something I am passionate about but I find that my creativity has dwindled and as a result, I’m quite useless in that particular department. I’m not sure how things will pan out once I start my program or where I’ll go after I’ve completed it but what I do know is that while web design was something I was sure to be my career path, I’ve found that is no longer the case. Who knows, maybe I’ll find my way back to it but for now, my path has been decided on and I can only wonder where it shall lead.

An interesting choice. I’ve come to the realization that Web Dev is a really broad field and you really just have to pick a niche in it to get good at, kind of like picking a specialty for a doctor. Ill be focusing on education applications myself.
Network Admins are definitely a good field to get into. Not really my cup of tea, from the few classes I’ve taken, but they’ll always be needed in tech
I hope you enjoy it and don’t find yourself drowning in work again!
