Dear All,
I realise that you are very busy people, but would you be able to answer a few career questions in regards to Knowledge Management.
Can you advise me how you broke into the Information world?
I am currently debating whether to continue my education(after obtaining a bachelors degree in Information and Library Studies)and apply for a Masters conversion course in Computer Science/ Information Systems, that I hope will be beneficial to broadening my skill base, if I wanted to work as an Information Architect.
However, another avenue could be that I consolidate my degree and attempt to find out more about Knowledge Management, with a view to obtaining either a work placement or years contact in this capacity. What do you think is the best
avenue? Is it best to keep my skill set as broad as possible and therefore more flexible to the KM environment?
If I went into Knowledge Management is it advisable to take an MBA/MPA (as these degrees are mostly aimed at managers than Information Executives/ Analysts/ professionals)or Masters in Knowledge Management to further my
career?
Any advice you can offer would be appreciated.
Paul.
