I have several years of experience in IT, half in database application development and the rest in
network management product development. What career paths can open up if I pursue a master's
degree in telecom and networking given my network- management product development
background? I have a bachelor's degree in engineering but no formal computer science or
engineering background. I know there is a considerable difference between networking and
network management, but I would like to pursue a career which involves both networking and
network management simply because I like both.
The masters in telecommunication and networking will only further reinforce your strong
communications and product-development experience. I think you have a great profile for product
development in telecommunications-based products. Also any of the regional Bells would
embrace that experience.
