Having a bachelor’s degree in IT is a very good foundation. Nothing will prepare you better for management than knowing what you are managing.
That means getting in the IT trenches and doing the job you may eventually manage. Doing that will give you greater value in a tightening IT job market. I have worked for IT managers that have come in fresh from college that did not have real world IT experience and they have not lasted very long.


I agree. Good luck finding someone that will hire you for a management position without any experience.

You’re going to have to decide exactly what it is that you want to get involved in. What’s the best way to do this? Get some experience in that specific field. If you have to take an intern or volunteer job in the field to see what it’s like and make sure you’re going down the right path. Also, get out and network with others in that field. Look for specific networking events and even seminars and conferences where you can go speak with others who are already doing it and get their feelings, feedback, and pointers.
