May 19, 1998
I am a geologist with a masters degree in geology, and have been working in the
environmental field for seven years. I have embarked upon a new career path by enrolling in a
masters program in computer science in the IT department of a well respected technical
institute. I have minimal experience with SQL and administration of an Oracle database for
environmental data. What course work or certifications should I pursue so that I will have a
viable opportunity for employment when I complete my masters degree in approximately 18
months?
No particular course or certification will make or break your career path. The best
suggestions would be to identify geological companies' IT
departments which would view your
understanding of the business and industry as an attraction and a trade-off to training you on
technology.
