My Personal Goals

The personal goals that I want to achieve as a student at the University of Phoenix is to complete my degree in Information Technology. I am looking to gain an overall knowledge of different areas of technology. With this new level of comprehension I can leverage myself into different areas of my career. The courses that I have to take will broaden my abilities in the IT field. This will help me succeed in life.

With my current knowledge I am a good employee, but can only move so far up on the career ladder. No only will the degree help me get into a management but the course work will assist my quest for understanding the concepts that I currently have little knowledge about. I also need to learn to communicate more effectively and improve my writing skills. There are certain skills that employers look for when promoting internally. I need to have those skills plus have additional abilities to push my self over the top.

How I am going to achieve my goals is to take a variety of classes that will aid my in my conquest. These classes include the current class that I am taking and other professional classes that will develop my communication and writing skills. I also have a desire to learn more about different operating systems and different scripting languages. In the information technology field no one person can know everything, but having knowledge of different operating systems and programming languages will give me a broad range of knowledge. I then have the opportunity to choose which areas that I want to specialize in.
