Okay, I hope any of you will snap me out of this twisted confusion. I am from Kerala, Trivandrum. I finished 12th std. (Plus 2) on 2005 with distinction. However had a serious problem with entrance exam. I was longing for two colleges Mar Baselios College or Mohan Das College of Engeenering, However I was unable to join as qualification in entrance exam was a must. Then my father agreed to go for management quota - even then there were problems. So in Mohan Das they agreed to get me in as per NRI quota. But around that week my father suddenly fell financially because of unexpected failure of few of his businesses. He needed all his monetary resources to prevent a huge debt. So that year went by. This year father’s business bloomed and I scored well in entrance but confused which to go for.

I will not be working for another company but rather embark on my own software/web/media development firm in India as well as abroad. Which course do you suggest? B.tech CS or B.tech IT and why?

I need some employment advice from individuals working or know about the IT industry and my current situation. I have a BS in Computer Science and a MBA from AIU in Management In May I’ll have a MS in Teaching Math. I taught HS for the last 3 years after college after I earned my undergrad CS degree. I earned the grad degrees while I taught.

I am thinking of changing my profession and working in IT. I have a decent working knowledge of C++ and a slight working knowledge of Java. However, I have no computer work experience besides teaching at a tech camp. I am also thinking of pursuing a pre-med postbac program, which is a profession I’ve grown passionate about. I was accepted to 2 informal pre-med degree/postbac programs — one with a scholarship of $11,000 towards $25,000 tuition.
I know an individual who is telling me about the negatives of working in medicine because of HMO’s and years of debt in school. However, the IT is a fickle industry and I’m making $51,000 as a teacher
and don’t know if I can receive more than that for an entry level IT job. I have a dilemma. Would appreciate if anyone has their take on these two industries or any advice for my current situation? I appreciate everyones help. Thanks in advance.
