In order to prepare yourself for a career in IT, you should learn as much as you can about computers. As you spend more time with these machines, you'll begin to understand how they work, the kinds of problems or bugs that often cause them to break, and how to repair them. IT workers (including managers) set up and oversee computer technology such as software and networking. They also do routine diagnostics checks and troubleshoot issues with the machines. While basic computer classes won't cover the exact duties of an IT worker, they'll give you a good foundation to build on. Buy an old computer online or at a local used electronics store. Use YouTube tutorials and other online how-tos to take it apart. Then put the computer back together or get new parts to customize it. This is a great way to learn what makes a computer tick, as well how to fix it or make it work more efficiently. You can also ask your friends and family members if they'd be willing to let you take a look at their broken computers. If you can, take apart both a PC and a Mac to get exposed to the different types of popular machines. Unlike some jobs in IT, managers need to have a bachelor's degree to get hired. Some colleges offer information technology or informational technology management majors that prepare students for both the business and technical aspects of IT careers. Ask your guidance counselor to help you find these schools, or look online for the top-rated information technology programs. Your computer science or information technology degree will prepare you to handle the technical side of the job. However, a big part of your position in particular will be communicating with your employees and the rest of the workers at the company in order to keep your department running smoothly. These supplemental courses can help you with your public speaking, leadership, and business management skills. Communicate to your professors that you're interested in the management side of the career field. They'll help you enroll in the classes you need to develop leadership and business management skills. Consider double majoring or minoring in management. Look for an internship while you're still an undergraduate. Apply for internships that will expose you to IT departments at major companies. This will give you a body of contacts that you can rely on later to point you in the direction of open positions or to write recommendation letters. Ask your professors and/or advisor to help you find internships that will improve your career prospects. Tech boot camps cover different topics, but many are meant to launch people into careers as IT workers. Some are designed for recent graduates, which will likely be the best option for you. Look for boot camps that emphasize IT management as well. Some boot camps may be offered to lower-income students for free. Search online for these opportunities. While a master's degree isn't required for IT managers, it may help you land a higher-paying job or competitive position with an exciting company. Look into getting a master of science (MS) degree in IT management, or a master's of business administration (MBA) with an emphasis on computer technology. Talk to your undergraduate advisor about reputable master's programs. They may also be able to recommend scholarships you can apply for to pay for the degree.

Dry nails are brittle nails. To reduce splitting and breaking, rub a moisturizing cream or olive oil into the cuticles daily. Petroleum jelly or a thick, greasy hand lotion that seals in moisture should do the trick as well. Biotin may not have much of an effect unless you have severely brittle nails, but it may be worth a try. A daily dose of 30 mcg is enough to avoid deficiency. Some people take a much larger daily dose of 2.5 mg to strengthen nails. You can also increase your biotin intake naturally by consuming more eggs, almonds, sweet potatoes, and other dietary sources of this B vitamin. Talk to a doctor first before you start taking any new supplements or make any major dietary changes. . Many beauty websites and magazines tout specific foods or supplements. There is little to no evidence that most of these work. In general, a balanced diet with plenty of vitamins and minerals from food should be enough to avoid nail problems.
