Tips for Entry
Learn as much as you can about computers and data management in high school. Talk to the individual who handles the database management functions at your school or in your school district.
Attend a college where you can specialize in management information systems (MIS) and other computer-related fields. If organizations recruit employees at your college, make sure that you attend the job fairs where they send representatives.
While you are in school, apply for internships or part-time jobs in the MIS field to acquire experience that can help you get your first full-time position.
