Forgive my self indulgence.
From my understanding most computer information management graduates take entry level jobs such as computer support specialists or database administrators. The pay is high which means that there will be plenty of job seekers for every job. Since the job changes with advances in technology it will be necessary to keep up with training in order to do the job effectively. One of the duties computer support specialists do is to help resolve client’s problems they might have with a computer. They also must ensure that computer systems run efficiently. System administrators on the other hand are mainly be involved with client servers and databases. For both careers they need to be able to manage time efficiently and quickly in what is generally a fast paced environment. According to Yashekia King’s article, “Job description of a computer support specialist,” at Ehow.com, The average hourly wage of a computer support specialist is 54$ an hour. You can get into the field with having as little as having an associate’s degree.
Since the pay is so high and there are so many people trained into it, jobs are getting harder to get as compared to programming. I was talking to someone in the field who told me that there are quite a few applicants for every IT job. But, according to the articles I read about computer support specialists the field is still growing; at least in the short term. In the article “Computer support specialists and system operators,” the writer stated that prospects in the career of computer support specialist/network administration is will be about average until 2016 with fewer jobs being added over the next 10 years. This supports my feeling that there is enough entry level IT workers out there for the jobs with the field tightening up later on. The

advancement opportunities once you do get into past the entry level stage are improved , according to the article as there are more job opportunities as you progress to higher level work in network administrating or computer support (“Computer support specialists and system operators”).
Reading further , according to the article “Computer support specialists and system operators,” in Nyjobsource.com, computer support specialists and systems operators hold about 862k jobs with 552k being computer support specialists and 309k being network and computer system administrators. The article goes on to say that growth will be around 18% from until 2016 after which it will start to flatten. It doesn’t however state how many applicants there are for these jobs. The article further shows the range of companies hiring computer support specialists saying that 23% of all computer support specialists and system administrators are employed in professional, scientific and technical service industries. And “that many of these workers were also employed in administrative and support service companies, financial institutions, insurance companies, educational institutions, software companies, government agencies, health care organizations, and management of companies and enterprises” (“Computer support specialists and system operators”). There are many types of companies to choose from so you can pick the career that interests you.
The degree I will be pursuing, Computer Information Management, seems to fit nicely into this career choice. I do understand that computer programmers have more job opportunities and higher pay than entry level IT but for me it might be above my level right now to obtain. I do understand that it will be necessary to update my computer skills to keep current with my job. I

You have covered the topic fairly well, but your personal approach works against the objectivity of the report. You do need to be careful to edit your work very closely, especially for sentence construction errors (like sentence fragments). Put titles on your reports. You have done a good job.
By personal approach I think he means what I have heard from people in the industry. Do I really need a title? This is for a tech writing course and I thought that it was just a nice informational writing assignment to look into what the job situation will be like when I graduate. He graded it otherwise. I did really well but only got a C. Oh well. Half the battle is finding out how your teacher grades.
