Com-sci grad na Artistic na Working sa Accounting Dept.?!?

[kesibi]

Heto po ang Kwento ko:

Graduate ako ng B.S. Computer Science.

Before pa ako makatapos ng aking pag-aaral, sideline ko na ang maging assistant ng Director (Personal assistant ng Director ng TV & Stage Plays). There are times na ako ang pinagtuturo niya sa mga workshops namin. So naranasan ko na halos lahat ng job description ng mga people sa Arts World (Maging writer, cameraman, Choreographer, Stage Manager, Propsman, Costume Master, Clapper, Technical & Lighting Director, and yes, even a PERFORMER!)

After kong matapos sa aking contract, I decided to focus on my career path (Wow! heavy decision 'yon!) The company looked for me and at start, they make me their Assistant IT. So in the long run, nalipat ako ng ibang department at nag-landing sa Accounts Receivable Department. I Hate numbers dahil talagang mahina ako don (Eh kaya nga ako kumuha ng Com-sci para bahala na ang Computers na mag-compute ng mga cocomputin ko!)

So ang ending, Miss ko na ang ARTS world. D naman ako bored sa Accounting. Gusto ko pa din palawakin ang aking nalalaman sa computers.

Bahala na nga ang judgement mo. Post ka na!

you seem to have a very interesting career start.... it shows your a very flexible person.

With regards to Accounting do you use Software such as M.Y.O.B?
That would integrate your Comp Sci skills with it. Are you maintaining the newtwork in the Accounting firm as well. Such as are you using NT or are the PCs standalone?

Theres alot you can combine here.

kesibi, kung tinapos mo ay BS Computer Science, magandang i-apply mo ang pinag-aralan mo sa trabahong 'yan. Bakit di ka gumawa ng programa para gawing mas madali ang trabaho. Ang Accounts Receivable ang kauna-unang programang nagawa ko at hindi naman ito mahirap gawin. Kung magagawa mo yung programang iyan, tiyak tataas ang presyo mo bilang empleyado. Yung payo naman ni pexpress sa 'yo tungkol sa paggamit ng M.Y.O.B., hindi ako sang-ayon doon. Mangyayari doon hindi mo mai-apply yung pinag-aralan mo at parang pinasa mo sa isang programa ang dapat naging trabaho mo. Sa ganong situwasyon, mababawasan ang seguridad mo sa trabaho dahil mas mabilis makahanap ng isang computer operator kaysa sa isang programmer. :)

Kung andoon na MYOB why re-invent the wheel? there are other ways naman to aotomate and program other task to tailor some of the companies process to an application.

If job security is the issue, marami pa namang mas pipiliin pa rin naman ang CS grad + MYOB knowledge kaysa MYOB knowledge lang.

HI KESIBI!!!

I can somehow relate to what you went through...but not totally because up to now i still don't have a job related to my major which is COMP-SCI...

I also became an assitant to my coach in my sport when i was in high school...assistant sa lahat ng events na gawin nya coz he was into organizing sporting events...not only that i also tried applying for part time jobs in theatre (well only as an usher)...and i got so interested that i want to shift to theatre...from computer science to theatre - kaya super feeling ko can relate ako sa situation mo....

however, right now I am trying to get a real job which is related na talaga to my major...i've been applying in IT companies since mejo nasasayangan ako sa napagaralan ko...yun nga lang im so scared kasi baka walang kumuha sa akin...VB lang alam kong language...chaka Turbo Pascal :(....

yan lang gusto ko lang po magshare...
