Technical College
http://www.luzerne.edu/academics/cat...tion%20Systems
Does this look good, or could I find better? I'm graduating high school this year and I've been looking at technical schools for a little bit, this one seems to suck the least... |

Cobol and RPG as part of the curriculum... !?
Its hard to say without looking at other colleges in your area for comparison.I went here during and after high school: http://www.hindscc.edu/ Then I left for my first major university: http://www.msstate.edu/ Then I transferred and completed my BS degree here: http://www.usm.edu/ Now, I'm planning a Masters degree from here: http://www.colorado.edu/(if work permits)

for a two-year degree, you could probably get more software development experience at a state school, the curricula here tends to be more towards people seeking either office skills or supplementary web design skills for a business major. if you are seeking a degree in computer science, this might be a waste of your time and money...and i might be wrong. but probably not. not everyone who goes to tech school plans on completing a bachelor's. the courses offer wonderful skills to have...as a beginning IT professional or a business major, but you probably want something more in-depth. a CS degree is usually a "big major" (45+ credit hours, as opposed to psych or philosophy where there are more electives).

well pretty much every other school that I could see my high school transcript getting me into is just about as shitty looking as that...
http://www.lackawanna.edu/degrees/comp_info.htm I'm thinking about online courses though... Does anything think that employers would see someone who got a degree from the internet as less capable than someone who got there's from a campus school? |

well, I guess that will balance out how shitty my high school transcript is then, lol.
also, I heard that most employers don't know what the A+ certification is and that they never heard of CompTIA... if that's true that's some funny shit |

A+ is rathe easy. Im only 16 now and I had it when I was 14. I plan on moving onto Network+ Next. Also, I graduate HS in 1 year. WOOT WOOT Im planning on going into Computer Science or Programming w/e it is called. I'm choosing between two things Software Dev, and Software Enigneering. I like to make stuff, I like to take things apart and see how they work. I would like to build complex programs for Major Companys, makes New OSes for companys or business. Build custom software for people, and maybe even for the lead Designer for a team of Programmers on a project. I was wondering for the interests I have whihci would be better for me. I thought about Computer Science at first, but I dont know if that offers everything I want to do. I also would like to do w/e teaches the most languages and advanced Computer Skills. Thanks
