    Just wait until you HAVe to get up every morning, get one week vacation, get paid shit and have to pay your own shits and bills ....... THEN you would wish you were still in school.... LOL

    That's the truth!


    Paul's right, degree + experience is better than just experience, and will almost always get the guy with a degree the job. The shitty thing is, only like 25% of people use their degree for the job its designed for. Most people are like a business manager with a anthropology degree or something.

    My advice:

    Pick what you want to do and go to a school that specializes in that. Maybe only a 2 year school or technical school. Then get a job, and make that job pay for more school or certifications. In IT, certifications can go a long way.
