Hello people,
I am new to the IT field. I currently work on a help desk and enjoy it. I spent most of my adult life in the military in Telecom. I am currently attending my local tech college. The telecom program has a strong focus on networking (Cisco, Microsoft, Linux) and security which I really enjoy.
My problem is there does not seem to be a 4 year program that I can transfer to. Looking around it appears that all the 4 year degrees are geared toward programmers(nothing wrong with that, just not to my interst). I have seen through a few other threads the recommendation to maybe get an MBA after getting the CS degree but I am finding it hard to see a path for my B.S.

So my questions are these:
1, Is there a B.S degree out there that would apply to my interest?

2, If not how would you recommend I proceed after receiving my A.S. knowing I really have no desire to program.

Thanks in advance
 
Creating an inventory system, accounting system or producting reports is not "mundane". I would say two out of 10 people who call themselves "Programmer" could actually create a professional inventory or accounting system with a normalized database and help system...one that was intuitive, etc.
Point taken.

Perhaps I should've said 'exciting' rather than 'mundane'.

Good Luck
