I'm interested in getting into IT. I've looked into CST/CIT but they seem very hard I've read people spend over 12 hours programming sometimes and I'm not really interested in programming/development anyways.
I was wondering if there are any grads from the CISA/CIST program I was hoping to get your thoughts on the program and also want to know what kind of jobs you have and how long it took you to get a job.

I'm interested in a job as a database admin or a network admin. But I've been doing a lot of reading and database admin jobs are at risk because of outsourcing and network admin jobs are at risk because of the cloud and automation I was hoping to get your thoughts on this as well.

Sorry, I don't mean to be so hard on you but read what you just wrote. If you don't have a passion for this and you're not willing to put in the time to do something you enjoy, why even do this?

You don't know until you try. Make an appointment to speak to an adviser.

I'd have to agree with above.

I have a couple friends in the CST program and from what I hear it's alot of work.
BCIT in general is alot of work. If it's not what you want to do, or it doesn't really fit into what you see for yourself in the future your time is better invested elsewhere.

I graduated from CST. Yes it is a lot of work. But actually having a lot of work keeps you away from slacking compared to having moderate amount of work. Pretty much all of my colleagues have a job in the field. I am doing something different myself so can't tell you about the job market from my perspective. So the jobs are (still) there.

CIT is less programing from what I heard. Never heard of CISA/CIST. Must be a new program
