Post by babloo »

ASSALAM O LEYQUM
i am rehan from karachi , need guidance and counseling about linux and my career wanted to do rhct and rhce and other courses , but as a matter of fact am a matric in commerce and visisted techno ed and a teacher over there told me that u can easily acquire and give the exams of the selected courses BUT , when applying for jobs in big companies or internationally they prefer candidates which should be BACHELORS IN SCIENCE .

so i just wanted fellow members views what should i do start over again from 9th in science . coz i want to survive in the wild so please want ur humble opinions .

thank you .

here’s a secret: willingness and desire to learn are the true qualifications. however, companies aren't willing to hire a bunch of people for a few weeks to find out which people are better than the others (despite what their resumes say). so, they look for things they can compare before hiring: resumes, and yes, degrees.

a university degree in your field makes you more hireable.
Watch out for the Manners Taliban!
Isn't it amazing how so many people can type "linuxpakistan.net" into their browsers but not "google.com"?

All good companies require a graduate as lambda said. One more thing is thay you can do BCS even if u r holding an I.Com degree. BCS requires a 12 years education only. But Science education is of course preferred.

I know at least 2 universities Fast-NU and Virtual University which accepts I.Com for BCS education but they require mathematics at HSSC Level.

Punjab University requires Science education at FSc Level (I m from Lahore).

So this varies between universities. You have to search yourself. You have to see your pocket/budget and then u can call enquiries or visit websites for information. Better is to investigate before any decision.
