I have a degree in Computer Science and work in I.T. (technical)

However I don't like it very much and I cannot see myself doing this for anymore than a few years. I would much rather do something more business orientated..

But I don't have any business experience other than classes I took at school (Project Management, eCommerce etc.)

I don't know what to do I'm confused By the way I'm in my early 20s

business systems analyst - maybe? you can use your technical knowledge to help make business decisions and from there you can jump into project management.

I was thinking that! I just don't know how difficult it would be for me to find that kind of position with no prior work experience in it :\

Business Analyst

It's usually the middle man between the IT department and the front office.

LOL! I had no prior work experience as a business systems analyst when I was hired, haha. I have a bachelors of finance. I was great with data analysis, excel, and access. I was a heavy user and creator of financial models. I had prior experience in a healthcare related position, but I didn't know SQL or crystal reporting.... but was hired based on potential to learn these things and now feel like a ninja at them. You can do this, because of your IT background
