[quote=Anonymous]He could enroll in an IS program or a CS program. Usually the more technical programs are aligned with engineering schools. Sometimes IS or CS programs are part of a business school, but is also common for them to be part of an arts & sciences school, especially where social, life and physical scientific disciplines are part of the research equation. His language arts skills will serve him well. Many areas of tech require very strong technical abilities, but others require skills that are more organizational, analytical or managerial. Sometimes developers choose and enjoy this field because they can use technology to solve problems. They might, however, dislike or struggle with settings that are communication-intensive or with those whom they do not identify. The space between identifying and communicating needs or ideas and the creation of a technological solution is where many good jobs exist for people who do not have strong math skills or interests. Systems work is sort of a standby for folks with these degrees, but technology is quickly evolving to a point where tools exist that are easily available to use in many other areas. Again, fit is key. He should think about the areas of business or research that he is interested in, and let those interests guide how he can use tech to create his own professional life. In other words, there is a lot to learn and accomplish even for those who are not serious math students.[/quote]
