I do IT at tafe, and have been told it's somehow easier to get a job from doing IT at tafe rather than doing it at University. True?

Yeah, that's probably fair to say.

The IT jobs you get from university pay more and your job security is much higher, of course.

Certainly, either way you'll be able to get a job easily enough since IT is in demand, so if you do plan to do IT in depth you'd want to go to uni. TAFE doesn't teach much in the way of programming, advanced networks, software engineering, or computer science.

I'm doing a Cert IV in IT and then heading back to university. Mainly so it's easier to get a IT helpdesk job while I am at uni studying computer science.

I believe you're just trolling, but I imagine this'll be useful to somebody nonetheless.

Thanks. All my programming knowledge is self taught, but I don't imagine I'd get a job doing programming. I can't imagine picture myself at any type of job, I got no idea what I want to do, so I'm glad IT is in demand, will widen choices I guess.

Because of the aspergers posts? That was all me boyo, although that thread got stupid as hell.
