Bachelor's degree

Okay, I just finished my diploma (Information Technology) studies, now I must choose and submit what my next degree course in the next 3 days.. I am really in a pinch and perhaps you guys can give me some insight view.

I have list out 3 of possibility for me..

1.BIT (Hons.) Security Technology(ST) -
Potential Career Prospects: Security Expert, Software Engineer, Systems Analyst, and Programmer.

2.BIT (Hons.) Data Communication (DC)-
Potential Career Prospects:  Network Engineer, Network Administrator

3.BIT (Hons.) Information Technology Management (ITM)-
Potential Career Prospects:  MIS Managers/Executives, IT Resource Manager/Executives.

I am more leaning towards Security technology but my dad say its better for me to take Data communication as it offer more job opportunity than ST.

Please give me some hint or whatever your opinion is.

I recommend you to choose what you like best. You'll be working for half of your life on it (consider you're sleeping ~8 hours), so you'll need to like it. Liking the job is far more important than the pay. And it's the only way for success.

That said, don't go for pure AI unless you know what you're doing, and you're getting a PhD, otherwise you'll still find jobs, but not the jobs you want.

Now:

ST: Sounds interesting, although I'm not a security person myself. Worth a look if you like development.

DC: If you want to become a technician as opposed to developer. BTW Anon #4, real geeks never drink. Besides, friday night is great for programming, nobody calls or bothers you.

ITM: Sux

ISE: Is this an euphemism for web development, by any chance? You may want this if you like development.

SE: Sounds like a more orthodox development path. You may want this if you like development.

BIS: Go for this if you like working on boring ass COBOL code up till 10 PM in a dark corner at some huge company, and you like boring ass bank stuff.

AI: You must really love AI to do this, beware of lots of Math (esp. statistics) included (oh, but you actually need it for this career, woohoo!), and try to get a PhD and work at an university. It can get to be the best job in the universe, but be careful; you could become the best unemployed person in the universe easily.
