wt was da entry requirement 4 it? n is it a apprenticeship? yeh its a lauf wen u hav jokas at wrk evri1 where i wrk is a lauf, id hate 2 leave bt wt cn u do.its gta b done.
entry requirement was really low sis seein as its meant for college leavers (age 17-19), so they mainly look towards ur GSCE (above C's) A levels (passes) and then they teach u from scratch.
i feel fortunate to hav gotten this job Alhamdulillah ,

What did you do at a bank exactly? It would be rare for someone to deal with interest as young employee.
Fight in the way of God, against those who fight against you, drive them out of the places they have drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. Fight them, until persecution is no more, and Religion is for God. But if they stop, let there be no war.
rozeena,
I too am in IT. In fact I was in IT when it was called Data Processing.
That was in 1965. So I have been at it for 42 years. I love it but there is a major problem. In what other field does most all of your experience become worthless?
It changes soooooooooooooooooooooo fast that kids with 2 or 3 years experience know thinks I don't. At 61 that's a serious problem.

My first job in IT was operating an IBM 1401. No tapes no disks, all information was stored on 80 col cards. It had 4K of memory. Bigger systems had 8K. The largest commercial system was 16k. That was as big as you could get on an octal system. I remember going with my daughter to the Smythonion in Washington DC when she was going to uni there in 1994. There was an IBM 370 there. I told her that I remembered when we upgraded to that mode. The PC that I am using at home is 100 of times more powerful that the computers I started working with.
You don't expect to see a 61 year old guy on Islamicboard, is why .
