I agree. I interview and hire many people and I would prefer someone with a
college degree over someone with a technical degree. The computer industry
is constantly changing, and a college degree shows a larger commitment and
desire to learn than a technical degree. I do not want to sell the tech
schools short, but you will make more money in the long run if you have the
degree. Of course, real life work experience is real important. Typically,
I will not interview a candidate without a college degree. I can always
train qualified candidates.
FYI - I have a friend that's been in the industry for many years (10), and
he went on an interview a couple of weeks ago. The first question that he
was asked was about his college degree. The interviewer wanted to verified
that he had a degree.
Thanks,
Cary

I graduated high school with a guy who went
into tech school as opposed to college.
He now works at Specs Music selling CDs. No joke.
They may be applicable in the automotive industry, but
I don't know of any employer who wouldn't rather have a BS in CS.
Maybe a recruiter here can shed some light on this?

Morning everyone,
I'm new to the list, and this is my first posting. Please let me know if I
make a mistake.
I'm interested in changing 'careers', and moving into high-tech with the
primary expertise in some area of networking.
To get up to speed as quickly as possible (as in make a buck) I thought I'd
go through a tech school, then pursue certifications, then continue my CS
degree. Opinions?
Also, could you help me out with recommendations as to quality tech schools?
I'm open to any location.
Thanks for any and all help,
Gary
