Answer :

answer:Did you not experience different areas of the field while you were studying? Was there anything that stood out and you liked most? Other than that, why not try to get some work experience? See if your university has any mentoring opportunities with people in industry OR see if there are any courses you can take to wrap up your degree that allow you to do some ‘work-integrated learning’ (or in other words on the job training). If they don’t make a list of companies in your location that operate in your field and get on the phone. You might not get paid but that work experience will a. look great on your resume and b. will give you an idea about what you like and don’t like and c. might get you a real job. There are a number of people in the IT field here and I am sure they would be able to give you some more tips about their particular field. Good luck and congratulations on nearly finishing. Well done.
