    There obviously in IT support. If your half decent at coding, you'll make a killing.

    Tbh University or not, it doesn't make a difference. You have to put a lot of work in yourself, college curriculum won't cut it.

    If you go to TCD, UCD, DCU, NCI, DIT, Amy college it won't make much of a difference.
