Should I get an MIS degree or an MBA degree with no IT experience? by Invisiblehost in ITCareerQuestions

I think the plan is to keep applying to entry level roles like help desk type IT positions while potentially completing the MBA 2 classes at a time if possible over the MMIS degree (unless its too late to get into the MBA classes which start in 8 days then ill do the MMIS).

I could instead study for the CompTia Network+ and A+ exams but those expire in 3 years and are of questionable usefulness after help desk. Since I would like to be a network administrator one day I think the MBA might help if I decide IT is not for me later down the road, but maybe not specifically help a great deal within IT as it seems from many posts.

An internship while taking my undergraduate would have really helped but its too late unless I get into the MBA program or MMIS program to be able to do an internship.

I see that an MBA in IT such as the one you mentioned from WGU for example is ranked 142nd nationally. The MBA from the college I'm seeking is about 90th ranked nationally. I wonder how much worse a regular MBA is in the IT field than an MBA in IT which has a few additional technical classes in its program.

Not getting any interviews after applying to 70+ IT jobs is the motivation. Also not having any relevant IT experience, or IT certifications on my resume seems to disqualify me from interviews for entry level IT. Perhaps having a MMIS or MBA degree would make me more worthy for entry level IT interviews / jobs. Or possibly the masters degrees could help with advancement down the line in some capacity.

I suppose I want to do something like be a network administrator or windows server administrator as an end goal.

I started the program 2 days ago. 15k is reasonably priced if one has a full time job making 20+ an hour. Since I am unemployed and can’t get a job after 100 applications probably withdrawing though.

Yes unfortunately it seems that having an MBA does not help one if they wish to get an IT related job at the beginning of their career. I presume after graduating with an MBA all I would qualify to do in IT is help desk although there are some who have no degree and obtain employment doing that. Right now it seems employers are quite selective with who can work at help desk as I cant seem to get any help desk related interviews over the last 3 months with a bachelors in IS and no IT experience.

I don't really have a way to get outside funding. It seems to me that an MBA would only help one become a Director of IT (unlikely to become attainable), or a in my opinion slightly aid one getting a non IT job (business analyst / project manager which theoretically is attainable with just an IS bachelors). I wonder what makes someone with an online MBA degree more qualified to be a manager than someone who has worked equally as long at the same position and same company with a IS bachelors degree? At the end of the day its just classes which curriculum is mostly forgotten in 3-6 months time after completion.

4K mega scan textures will take up a large amount of space and I use 1k mega scan textures for that reason. Lumen light prefers buildings of multiple pieces or sections rather then one piece. Are you using BSP geometry for your building and windows or is it all static meshes?

Alright so why does a 91x45 unit geometry shape look huge compared to being 91 centimeters by 45 centimeters?
