Picking up a college course just like picking it like candies is having a priceless ticket to hell. You must really think and observe enough on what you really want. Don’t choose it like your playing. This is serious enough to make your life a total CRAP.

Choosing a related course in Information Technology opens a variety of opportunities. One example is the internet. Anyone is using it, for research, communication, business, and so many more. You can also do everything you want through it. And if you want money, it is much more easier than working 8 hours helping the doctor (dah! Nursing).
 
Note: This post is related to what I am experiencing here, specifically in Philippines, Davao City.
 
To start out my main reasons. Here it is!
1. You can have any software/applications you want.
Cost is your number one priority and having a personal computer nowadays is must. It is required in any course you take. What’s really good in taking IT is that you can have any software applications with no cost! Just by copy paste, cracks, keygens, serials. Yeah! I know it’s piracy. There are also anti-piracy laws lurking around here but they’re just there to stare on us. Luckily we can have any application we want! Just by grabbing it in out favorite P2P/Bittorrent site or even through our friends. It leaves us no worries!
 
2. IT is always in demand here
IT is broad as the universe. The demand of people working in IT is like air. It’s there, if you want to live, you must breathe. That’s IT.

Courses like Nursing is like hitting with the waves. It’s going with ups and downs. During the year of 2005, Nursing was so famous that all of my High school Classmates got into nursing. Almost all took up nursing just because of the money. Even my father and Aunt’s encourage me to go into this course. But I didn’t listen to what their blabbering about. I just followed what I want. And I was right about it. Taking up IT encourages wider lists of opportunities.
 
3. Living a life with no boss
Living lazy is my goal in life. That’s why I took IT because of I want to be a freelance when time comes.

Freelancing (working and sleeping in the house) can be achieve in a high percentage if your really are good in one field in IT. And just a note, most people working in the IT industry are always in the front line, if your diligent and skillful enough (I know I have to work in these though, hehe).
 
4. Having money just by seating
Most people here in PH still don’t get it and I met really lots them who is still urging me to take up another course. And you wanna know what is it? Nah! It’s that damn nursing again.

As an IT student, I’m really proud that I bought my own laptop with my own money. Yeah! No money came from parents. Just because of my hard work on seating and sleeping in our house plus the shame of blog spamming. I succeeded on having my own laptop! Weee!
 
5. Everything is easy and fast
Living in this lazy body of mine is really a burden for me, ohhh well. But matching this lazy body with my current industry (which is IT) is a heck of an easy bitsy life.

If you want to talk with your friend. Use IM!
If you want updated news. Use RSS!
If you want learn something. Use Google!
If you want a life. Choose IT!
 
Well these are the concrete reasons for me. I’ll gladly here ’bout your ideas. Just don’t be shy to comment.

   I have a question, which is better here in Davao? CompSci or CompEng?

4. ragingmon:
   

   depends upon your goals.
    
   my instructors say that comsci is for theories
   information technology is for skills
   and well i don’t know about comeng.
    
   still all this depends on the school your in.
   some school here in davao just opened a course not knowing what they’re doing.
   some school can’t even differentiate IT from comsci.
    
   thats all bow..

   Humm…
   I quite agree with this post, but my friend it’s not that easy as it seems. It requires lots of hard work and time and money. Moreover you have to work for many extra hours its not a 8 hour job i guess if you are dedicated to your work.

   But apart this one can have a bright carrier in this field.
