I do hiring currently and sometimes hire IT people. Associates degrees even don't cut it. You really need a Bachelor's degree to even START being competitive in the work environment and economy today. Who set you to have such low expectations when dealing with schooling? Also seriously, anything that seems like a 'shortcut' like going to an online only school, or your GED is gonna make you look a lot worse to an employer. I'd put a resume with an Associates from UPO in the trash. A kid with a degree in Computer Engineering or Computer Science from say MIT or Northeastern would shine to me. And if they had a Masters, even better. toolband185 Posted at 12:48 pm on June 23, 2005 Okay I am going to start a online college named University of Phoniex and start going after a Assoiate degree for computer stuff would that be a good start on my goal of making some mooolah!...

Certs aren't gonna do it these days. Sorry kid. Someone told you wrong. College is really needed these days for most things unless you are a fucking genius, have rich parents, massive connections and are lucky as hell. toolband185 Posted at 7:46 pm on June 22, 2005 what should i do then in order to get a top properity job that pays good salary. and what certfications do i i need to accomplish this. 50 dollars Posted at 5:19 pm on June 22, 2005 dave is right BostonDave Posted at 5:17 pm on June 22, 2005 First of all, just a GED (which looks even worse than just a HS dipolma on a resume) isn't gonna help much. And this isn't 1999-2000; just an A+ cert alone won't get you crap. Sorry kid. Everyone in and his brother has computer Certs. I know a few people with Masters in Com Sci and Comp Enginering that can't get jobs. babybounce Posted at 5:15 pm on June 22, 2005 Post from this position was omitted due to content violations toolband185 Posted at 5:10 pm on June 22, 2005 Hello, I have a question about recieving a A+ Certifcation for hunting after a good computer job.
