I have been told that the university courses like the bachelor of commerce and bachelor of business are a dime a dozen and they just give you a brief overall knowledge of IT and don't give you specialist skills that you need to command a high salary and these qualifications just get you jobs like working in a company and fixing peoples computers and working in the IT call centers. I want to study in a specialisst field, security interests me, you guys got any thoughts on this?
Answer
To get into IT, your degree should probably be something like Computer Science, Information Systems or Systems Engineering. Look closely at the college catalogs for info on what is included in each IT offering.

What sort of careers are available to people who enjoy setting things up?

I find that I really enjoy setting up computers and home AV equipment (and other such items). I'm also pretty good at this stuff.
Is there any way to apply this to a career path?
Are there jobs out there like that... that would be satisfying as a career?
Answer
Yes, those are custom installers/contractors. There are various companies that do this, most of them are small and typically work within a region.
CEDIA is one of the organizations you should read about, they should have info on their website.

If you learn to program the higher end products then you can make a high salary. Crestron/AMX/Pronto, etc.. type products.
Example, I went to a customer of my former employer, he had one of these installers put in a home theater system with projector and 3 levels of seating and with a remote that would close the blinds and turn off the lights as you start the DVD, etc... That has to be programmed into the system, and those kind of customers would rather pay someone than spend time to do it themselves..
