    This was a great video and answered the main question I have had for two years! At this time I am a business system analyst in a chemical distribution company. So understanding supply chain, the ERP, accounting and the data are major. I am leaning more towards the BSA and BI Analyst but their is a major learning curve and with SAP, I need to finish my masters for the experience. My question to you, what skills are needed to be a Junior ERP analyst, more so SAP? Do I need the masters?

    • @AngeloTheBA
      @AngeloTheBA  3 роки тому +2

      It sounds like you are already in the position and want to be great in the position. If you want to be an ERP Analyst the you have to become a subject matter expert in the space. Learn everything the technology and the business process. The better you understand all parts, the better you can provide good solutions. Honestly, you don't need the masters especially if you already work in the space, but it'll look good on your resume.

    Is computer information systems the same as management information systems? My school says they are similar just different names, but I honestly think MIS sounds more business related which is what I’m more interested in, and my school only has CIS

    • @AngeloTheBA
      @AngeloTheBA  3 роки тому +2

      Programs can vary. Even Management Information Systems as a major can vary from one school to another. You should look at program courses/curriculum to know for sure.

  • @MorganSinclaire

    in the beginning of the video you said you would omit the jobs that are technical and are for software engineering. these jobs are technical and mostly for software engineers

    • @AngeloTheBA
      @AngeloTheBA  5 років тому +5

      I mentioned computer science and computer engineering, not software engineering. I excluded jobs around computer hardware and components (chips, processors, motherboards, networking & telecom, etc) where it is unlikely you can learn on the job without the requisite technical background. Most of the jobs here require you to fully learn the context in which you will be working while you are on the job, and thus your ability to comprehend, analyze, and organize is more important than what specifically you learned in school. Data Analyst can be from Finance, Marketing, Economics, Statistics etc. Business Analyst can be from English, Philosophy, Communications, etc. Project Managers just have to be diligent, detail oriented and organized and same for QA Analyst. I've even worked with a PM with a major in health and nutrition. Most Information Systems programs have enough courses specific to development and databases, that if you are passionate, you could be a developer or DBA.

      In terms of levels of mathematics, it probably wouldn't get more complex then Algebra unless your working in a very technical field like aerospace or something.

    Hi there,
    I wanna invest in real estate such as houses and apartment complexes. But have a job to start with and have as a back up. From the videos have I seen this type of major and it’s jobs fit with my personality and how I like to work. Would this be a good job to get into investing or would I be better off with another degree?

    • @AngeloTheBA
      @AngeloTheBA  4 роки тому +1

      The key to investing is having money to invest. Any job that pays you is "a good job to get into investing". So to answer your questions, Yes. However, the more money you have, the more you can invest, therefore a job that pays a lot is better for investing. Getting paid a lot means you have to pick a job that you like enough to dedicate yourself to be top-notch.
      There are jobs that have a more direct performance-to-money connection and would probably be best to make more money faster, but also have risks like sales, entrepreneurship... or less risky but longer to achieve like doctors, dentists, lawyers, etc.
      In addition to having money, you have to be knowledgeable in making good investments, which makes an economics or finance degree (or at least minor) seem like a smart choice.

      Big Dilf and degree wise it really doesn’t matter because when it comes to investing you’re going to learn most of it from experience or information on UA-cam etc. But considering MIS, IS is related to business it is probably going to be required that you take classes that teaches you the basics of markets in general (real estate, stocks, forex, commerce) and the degree can also earn you a high paying job if you’re dedicated and play your pieces right which is why it interested me

    • @AngeloTheBA
      @AngeloTheBA  3 роки тому

      That would depend on what you want or how you want to sell yourself ultimately. Both would qualify you for business analysis jobs. Business analytics might make you more competitive for data heavy jobs, business administration might make you more competitive for division (marketing, accounting, finance, he, supply chain, etc) specific jobs.

      @@AngeloTheBA That is great advice. I have found since completing my masters in IS and then going on to my Dr. in Business Admin within the IS cognate that the real determinant for my success has been to streamline where my passion lies within IS. For me it is DSS design in Biblical Technology deployments. I've dominantly focused in software development jobs but with a business background I've had more doors opened up. It's important to keep an eye out for people trying to fit you into a position that isn't ideal such as maybe sales or marketing though. Find your passion and chase it with all you have.
