career question

well okay, I dont know if your able to help me or not well its a try. I can have is (female currently at home after kids scolarship) from the government, that is around 3 k Euros. It has to be work related, meaning you want to go up your career ladder, something that will help you when you join work again, so that you are not behind, or your can start another direction. Well they are flexible and I have to do the homework and see what interests me and what I might want to do afterwards. My job is secure and I will join sometime next year, but I think I want to use this time and do something related.

Well here it is difficult, I am in Banking IT sector and well what kind of areas there are?

I know about network, hardware, servermanagement and many more.
I was thinking of doing something manybe project management or maybe IT administration.

Ok for IT administration there are so many phrases like Linux and other stuff that doesnt tell me anything, so I need to know more.

So what is there that I can do, that may not take more then 3 -6 months? Please advice if possible.

go for PMP certification

Re: career question

If you are in the banking IT sector and have a vague interest in business development, you should check out Internet Marketing, it has been estimated to be a 12 Trillion dollar industry and has only been penetrated 12 Billion dollars so far. Just an idea.
