I am just short of a credit to graduate. I am just thinking to work for a while, take the credit on the side and graduate. so no hope of pulling up my GPA. I need to work to pay off my tuition loans before I can move on. Plus, work experience also helps for grad programs. I am hoping the IT experience will help me get into some sort of grad school (since my gpa is low).
Also, I am open to use the QA entry job as a work/internship experience to get footing into grad school - as you said QA pay sucks. The MSIS option looks promising as you said, but just as with an MBA, it seems worthless without hard core work experience. What is the career outlook for an MSIS graduate - pay wise, careerwise, job wise?
Another question is, since I have no background in computers and have novice background in QA testing, will an internship/entry level position help me get into graduate programs into software engineering? If not, other than QA testing, what other courses and placement should I get to get myself into this field?
