Hi, basically i am interested in both these courses, could anybody suggest which is the best to do, for 1)being interesting, 2)getting a job after college.

I plan on doing the course for 4 years, aka the extra year addon, also which course would i learn the most from?, i dont want to complete the 4 years and not be ready to join the workforce!

- Thanks

IT would suit you better then i think.

I'm in Software systems and after the first year, the two courses take a lot of modules together, so really I'd say that they're basically the same...

In Software systems there's:

-Programming
-Web development
-Networking
-Designing databases
-A stream choice (German, business, psychology or french)
-and there are some business elements in there too (You have to know what the business actually needs you to develop for them, instead of what they think they need)

Good luck man.

I'm in the same boat as OP.
I'm in between minds; SSD or IT
Would you say that SSD and IT are very similar.
The difference being SSd is leaning towards more programming and IT is leaning towards more Hardware?
Myself I love the hardware side of things as well as programming so maybe i'd be better suited to IT?
