Which is a better choice? A General Computer Science Degree or Network Systems Administration and Support


Which is a better choice? A General Computer Science Degree or Network Systems Administration and Support?
I am enrolled in college and I need help with deciding what associate degree will be most beneficial to me. I would like a career in computer science. Specifically, I would like to be a systems/database analyst or a network engineer or possibly a web administrator. However, I am uncertain of the possible downfalls that may effect me if I choose to specialize within computer science. I need some feedback on which degree would be a better choice; a general associate degree in Computer Science or an associate degree in Computer Science-Network Administration and Support?

Both. You have a better chance of being hired.

I think you should seriously consider going past an associates degree. If the only choice is between the two, I think a general degree in Computer Science would best serve you. This will give you some background in both how networks communicate, but also a baseline of programming. You should learn a few OS's. Many large companies use UNIX. You can try Linux for free and get a feel for the file structure and how databases work. Good luck. Also with computer sciences, it is a good major to pursue online.
