I am 22 and seeking a career in the computer science field. I am halfway through my associate's
degree, after which I will seek my bachelor's degree in computer science. I am thinking of taking
C, C++, Java, and maybe a couple of other programming courses. What is my likelihood of landing
a job in the information technology field? My reasoning in wanting to get a job after my A.A. is
so while I am seeking my B.A., I would be receiving first-hand experience.
Very high! I like your career planning and would only caution you not to get swayed by the
demands of working a job and the challenges of continuing education. I would rather you do the
four-year degree than the possibility you throw in the towel a year after you get your
associate's degree because the allure and commitments are so high.

Will the lack of a degree affect my marketability? |
