IT career - Personal Stuffs
Greetings everyone, I have recently graduated from High School. I'm thinking about my future and I've chosen IT as my career choice. This is a huge field, mind mindbogglingly huge. I'm not looking towards software or web development, but towards Networking and Security, Help Desk, Sysadmin, that kind of thing.
My inquiry, Associated or Bachelors degree? I have difficulty finding relevant information about this topic. I've heard about people getting by on Certifications alone, but I want to be "appealing" to possible job positions. The cost of education in the United States is too bloody high, seriously. I have a difficult time finding reasonable loan options, so expensive. Which is why I'm thinking of getting an Associated degree and a few Certifications.
What are your professional opinions?
I'm turning to this forum because, well, I've been here a while and there are nice people here.
