I had originally planned to use my International Business degree for exactly that, but became interested in technology through my on-campus student job at a computer lab. My projects change constantly, and there are always new things to learn. I normally get bored easily, but this type of work keeps me on my toes and interested in my job. I am not familiar with any of the programs offered. I think employers are looking at many varied backgrounds, even for technical positions.
Creativity is a plus, as is experience working on varied projects.
If I had to pick one thing it would be the ability to learn and adapt to new situations very quickly. That depends entirely on the student and their goals. The first two companies I worked for were very small, and growing fast. That atmosphere was perfect for me at the time because being in a small company gave me the attention I needed for training, as well as a broad range of experience since I wore different hats. Now I work for a large international company and its benefits are that more resources are available to me to develop my career.
