Then don't do IT, but Hardware Engineering. Repairing/assembling has minimal work whatsoever, it's the technical side that'll get you a job. Building computers isn't too hard and does not require a university degree, IT is more like 'support'.Computer hardware, "the it guy" at school, i'm more interested in assembling/repairing rather than software programming
Yep do this. Don't bother with uni, it will be a waste of time and money if you simply just want to be able to repair and build computers from manufacturer parts.It sounds like you'd be better off doing a certificate 4 at tafe tbh.
If you really want to go to uni then information technology is your best bet. But a certificate 4 and/or a few industry certifications (i.e. maybe a CCNA or one of the various Microsoft, Apple, Red Hat etc. certifications?) will suffice for what you want to get into it seems. To me it looks like you want to get into consulting or more kind of maintenance jobs so you should steer clear of computer science which is heavy on the theory behind computing.Yes i want to do "go on site to examine their servers and computers" exactly
is it good at macquarie uni?
i had a look at the uac course guide, but i only see information technology, what course is it called? information system or computer science? if you could give me the code for the university course i would appreciate it
ICT Engineering, majoring in telecommunications, would probably land you better chances of on site jobs than a degree in IT (IT is heavily involved with screen work, I can't speak much of engineering, but from talking to other people, engineering seems to be the way to go for a more off-screen approach). - But this involves maths and physics in its core. Engineering is heavy on theory. course code: 603065Yes i want to do "go on site to examine their servers and computers" exactly

There is maths in ICT Eng, Comp Eng and Computer Science - i only did 2unit and it's not too much of a problem. But you have to realise they are all completely different from IT and prepare you for different jobs. The jobs themselves are not really exclusive to graduates from either degree though, but you should still pick the appropriate one for what you want to do after you graduate. From what i understand Info Systems is pretty much just another name for IT.So are ICT Eng, Info Systems, Comp Eng suitable for me?
Nah, it'd be helpful if you had experience with programming though. Not neccesary however.Will i have problems if i don't do software design or IPT?
