I suck at programming so I ask this question . A systems analyst's job is to analyze a problem and suggest a solution ,While the programmer is asked to provide this solution ? Can a person who sucks at programming still be a good systems analyst ?

In theory, yes- the systems analyst typically delivers the overall specs and requirements for a system which will then be developed by programmers.



To answer the other part of your question, it is really necessary to know this : why do you think you suck programming? Is it the logic you have trouble with, or is it more the syntax? Or do you just not like programming?



I ask, because if you want to be a systems analyst, it is very important that you understand the underlying logic of programming, and have a firm grasp of what is possible, and what is not possible. So, if you struggle with the logic part of it, you may not make the best systems analyst



Now, can a person who sucks at programming be a good systems analyst? In some cases, yes, and in others, no. Again, it depends. I myself am in a similar situation, except it's not that I "suck" at coding, it's that I don't like it. I like working with people more, and as a systems analyst, there is a lot of human interaction, and that appeals to me.



So, the answer to your question is yes - and no. It all depends.

You are wrong.



A systems analyst looks at the needs that have to be fulfilled then suggests hardware and software solutions.



A programmer writes the programs that perform the tasks that the systems analyst indicates needs to be done.



You can "suck" at programming and still be a good system analyst because an analyst would state in English what has to be done and a programmer would program the tasks into computer or programming code.

You have to be REALLY good at LEAST one part of the system you're working on to be a good system analyst. So, in theory, if you're really strong in understanding the business case and business rules, you might be able to specialize in system analysis.



However, in the current world of multi-tasking, system analysts are also the developers or at least the prototyper. So, not knowing at least one language to demonstrated an idea would make you a much less effective as a system analyst. So, in reality, not really possible to be a GOOD one.

particularly situations for particular positions a secure practices clearance is had to artwork at particular business enterprise as a working laptop or pc programmer or pc device analyst. i could estimate perhaps a million to 4 out of each and every a hundred positions, so no no longer very many require a clearance. yet style of 20% of the companies will ask in case you have a police record or will ask a question: have you ever been convicted of a criminal? have you ever been convicted or prosecuted for a criminal offense? in the adventure that your record has been expunged study what meaning. it quite is diverse than a sealed record. An expunged record potential it relatively is as in case you have never ever carried out the act and have been never in touch in being prosecuted or convicted - examine out this precise status and bear in ideas your status. in the adventure that your record has been expunged then see whether it relatively is okay so which you may respond to which you have never convicted a criminal because of the fact the record on the issue has been expunged. in the adventure that your do nonetheless ought to exhibit the certainty of the form, bear in ideas additionally that some agencies that do ask a pair of criminal background ask for below with regard to the main up-tp-date 5 years. shop clean of issue and observe at good acceptable smaller or mid-length agencies the place you will use and advance your programming skills and ask a number of your college instructors for help to get that first good activity at a good business enterprise.
