[Q] What is the best IT job to go into? - General Questions and Answers

I have recently graduated from high school, and I love working with computers. I am facing a problem where I am not too sure on what field to go into that is IT related. I wanted to go into programming, but I have heard that a lot programming jobs are being taken over seas (I live in US) Anyways, what would you suggest me to go into? I am looking for something with decent pay and good demand.
I am sorry if this is not the right place to ask, but I figured everyone here is into IT. Thanks in advance.
Here are my choices: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1484678/Capture.PNG
Edit: I did take 1 year of Java programing in HS and it was pretty cool.

Can never go wrong with electrical engineering, but be warned it's really hard work but pays off in the end

That's what I am enrolled in for now but I was having second thoughts about it b/c I am not the best at math

That's ok. Many first time college students have second thoughts on the major they first pick. However, I see from the list you provided that all those majors also need you to be decent in math. So it's fine that you aren't the best, but as long as you have a good understanding of it, then you should do fine. Also with choosing engineering you can switch to other engineering and computer science majors quite easily, which means you can double major . At least you went big with your major list.

We don't condone pirating here at XDA. Sorry for your luck. There's a multitude of ASVAB studying material for free on the internet! Good luck with your testing.

+1 - wrong place for piracy links
as for the free online material, it is all over - just don't use military.com - they'll make you sign up w/ email and then spam you all day long.
good luck, if you're heading to the army you should check out 11B.
That's the easiest test on the planet, especially if you wanna be 11bang bang but there isn't anything wrong with infantry, however, you probably don't wanna be a leg... JS 173rd ABNBDE...

yes, definitely wouldn't be worrying about studying for infantry... we don't need a test to tell us how smart we are, that's what our busted up knees are for!
by they way... i was on a MiTT team over in j-bad mostly... worked w/ ANP and ANA... lots of 173rd guys out that way (07-08) ... winter of rock avalanche :'( ...tough times, tough guys..
Lol. I didn't know people studied for the ASVAB. Matter of fact I think I was drunk when I took it. But then I didn't study for the ACT either.
I didn't really study at all and I got a 94. Prior to the real test I took a practice one online.
Just out of curiosity, what branch are you going for?
I suggest you talk to all recruiters if you haven't already.
i am looking for this too
Saw the iphone version someplace where demons hang out!
But if you are needing it, you may not figure out my clue!
Is a pretty straight forward test. Of you passed high-school with As you sweep the asvab with ease.

IGNORE!

So today i was flashed ASKP rom for the skyrocket. Everything was going fine Text messages were going through, internet was working. My only problem was that my calls were not going through. So i restored my backup and nothing still. Then i used odin to return back to stock. Thing is the UCLD2 radio was still there. So i flashed the original radio for 2.3.5 because that is what i am running. My calls still wont go through. Any Suggestions?
Edit: while i wrote this, i was flashing the 2nd ics leak. Now everything works again. im sorry for this huge waste of space.
Bring on the Flaming. ill take it like a man
Be careful man, it seems you don't quite know what you're doing yet
Crazy thing is I've been flashing since the G1/Dream. Idk lately I've been out of it. Stressing over a couple of exams i have coming up. I'll just stick with rooted stock ics for now.

What tar did you flash in odin? Did you wipe and format before you flashed?
When I saw that the calls werent working for the ASKP I restored the nandroid that I had. Still wasn't working. So i decided to go back to stock GB. I used the tar from the Return to Stock/fix soft brick thread. But it still had the UCLD2 radio. So then I had to flash the GB radio.

Thats because thats not a complete tar. I have been posting about sammobile since I found it for a month or two. It is complete and also restores the radio, unlike that other one you used. I always wipe and format everything before using odin as well.
Yeah. I just made an account with them. I'll use their tar from now on. And thanks for the advice and not flaming lol

In a change of subject. I took welding in high-school. I loved it. And I got good at it. My teacher once told me that underwater welding was a dangerous job, but it paid well. You have some experience in that, what's your take on it? Worth it?

That's just a small part of the commercial diving gig. You do far more other stuff, more often, than welding. If you are gonna work offshore you have to be a dive tender(*****) for some years until you are promoted to full diver status, if you even make it that long. The drop out rate is somewhere around 95% or higher. It's tough work being a tender, and most can't handle it. If you make it you can look forward to making well into 6 figures. It's a rough life, though. I love it, always something new, fly by the seat of your pants type stuff. Very dangerous, pays well, runs like the military.
At least you love doing what you do. If not then what's the point? I'm still in college majoring in CIS but Its not something I wana do for the rest of my life. I love getting my hands dirty. I still got a couple of years to figure things out but I might end up opening an Auto shop specializing in American cars.

I've always worked with my hands for my career. But I enjoy learning and messing with android and stuff in my free time now.
I drive german cars and work on those. My dad does american muscle, he's not a huge fan of my choice on auto's
I was into imports big time. But then I did an internship with the NYPD repairing fleet cars. And all the techs there were into American cars. One of them is an actual tournament racer. And they would bring their cars and show them off to me and let me work on them. It was pretty cool. To bad I had to leave.

The BEST App"S" EVER.

This app is intended only to check security if your personal home network. Be responsible and never attempt use in a public place. Scenarios in the following text are for entertainment purposes only.
I know this has been around for a bit, but thus seems solid and working for everyone. It's Network Spoofer! Now picture this (this is being polIte) walking into a Starbucks or McDonald's and every single last image down to link ads us replaced by a picture of your favorite presidential candidate. No matter what they clIck or where they try to go every last link they can find sends them directly to your candidates campaign website! Ya, and that is just scratching the surface of what this app does. I mean I saw people get literally overly pissed off, loss of temper storming around!! IT'S TOO MUCH FUN TO PASS UP!!!

After installing the app, connect to WiFi and start it up. Root is needed, once granted it will download roughly 600mb of additional data to function properly. Once you choose your first weapon and ur ready to fIre, apply it to all devices and it will automatically identify your ip address as host and you can surf unscathed, mixing and matching pranks to adapt to the out of control, hilarious environment around you!!!
DO IT!!

Easily change your Mac address to anything you like while online(good if your banned from an irc, or are need to make sure nothing can get traced back to your device via its Mac address)

[New Site]Andy Student Handbook [AWESOME][CHECK IT OUT]

Hey all, I have created a new site called the Andy Student Handbook(or ASH), which is basically the hub for all high school and college android fans, enthusiasts, devs, etc. Its really great, check it out please. If you want very specific details on what ASH is and does, check out the site! I have an introduction article that will give the gist of what it is all about. Also, if you want to become an article writer for ASH, please follow the instructions provided in order to "apply", I can only accept a limited number of writers at the moment (maybe two or three) but as the site's traffic increases, so will the number of needed writers. So, if I can't accept you now, tell every android enthusiast you know to visit (even though the site is targeting the high school and college population, my articles can still very well offer great advice to anyone), and you never know, a spot may just so happen to slide into place! Without further ado, check my site out
P.S. - If the template changes, I am simply changing things up, dont freak out lol

Any roms working on vzw SCH-i705+

There was one early on by Mr Hyde which I installed and have been using ever since. That was discontinued about a year ago though. Was just wondering if there's been any development since.
See...there's hardly any way to get answers here,,, I mean thank God for the geniuses touching down to earth ever so often with there brilliant work but then they flutter back into their bong smoke filled dens to game on or whatever other strange itch they're wanting to scratch at that particular moment...lol. but answers for the old folks....hehehe not a chance!

Yeah, I can be a little sarcastic. But he DID say people like me used to be super active then disappear to play video games and aren't helpful anymore. Not that we have a life and are actually, you know, devoting 12+ hours a day sometimes 6 days a week to working full time and advancing our education...

Uh,,,,, that would be a NO then.because none of those lead to a working Rom or a working anything for that matter,,, development for this particular device is dead......that was why I made my remark...because most of you guys go to great links to impress yourselves but add very little to helping any of us that aren't as savvy,,,,, that's pretty cool animation but I see you really haven't followed any of those links in that real cool way to say nothing.....

C'mon man, don't be a troll. There are very few owners/users of your particular tab. Which is why there is little development for it. Have you seen Shakatus contributions to the community of P51xx.Take a look for yourself, and then try spouting off. If he, or any other, of the great devs around here actually had one of your models, maybe they may be able to figure something out. But, he doesn't. So he wont. Unless of course you want to send him yours to try, but I can guess the answer to that. Bashing people around here for problems that you are having (or unwilling to do anything about, except lean on others ie: learn something for yourself) is unacceptable and will be reported. No trolls allowed......next!
I wasn't trying to be crass....I will be happy to donate or whatever in order to advance the work on this model....but there's no current anything for this device.....I've ran down every link and thread trying to find anything useful to break VZW's hold on this device, so it's not a matter of not researching or being lazy....my apologies.
