In Reply To: I graduated in May '99 with a BBA in accounting from Univ of WI-Madison. I want to change the focus of my career from accounting to IT. Any thoughts on the DePaul program? The master's program doesn't require a BS in comp sci which is what I need. Any thoughts on if this is a good/bad program, other options, etc. would be appreciated. Thanks.
Message: I suggest you do some research. Talk to people who have recently graduated with an IT degree and find out how long it took them to get a job. Take into account that after you reach 40 years old, it will start getting hard to find a job. A poll earlier this year of people who hire IT workers found that just 2 percent said they would hire an IT worker with more than 10 years experience!
