Today's discussion topic is switching careers and our guest is Dr. Richard Shurtz of Stratford College, which specializes in career training in IT, restaurant and hotel management, culinary arts and business administration. Submit your career questions now. I have 15 years experience working in local government with skills in project management, writing, presentations and research. I read High Tech Jobs for Low Tech People and think that I would enjoy web design, particularly developing content and e-commerce. However, most schools that offer web design don't mention the e-commerce aspects.
Web development is a good way to get into technology.
And then go to the backend database programming if you enjoy it. Your work experience gives you the kind of skills that are frequently lacking in a technologist. Also you may consider computer networking or programming. I have just entered into a technical position that turns out not to be as challenging as I had hoped. My previous position I was at for about three years.
