Career Prospects: MS in Computer Science?
Hi! [Asked this before, re-asking to get more opinions] I have a MS in Computer Science and 1-year programming experience (done that before starting the MS) Now I don't want to work with software analysis and development nor with Research and Development. Could anyone give me any career prospects? - Couldn't I be, for example, an HR in a software company? - Teaching is good, but could I do that without experience, I haven't been a T.A. while studying for the MS? - Any big companies require technical skills (MS) for selling their software? sales career? Does anyone feel the same, noticing that you don't like your field a bit late, i.e. after graduating? Any serious Help is MUCH appreciated. Thanks in advance
