Gwinnett Tech sucks. I am also in I.T. and I spent over a year at Gwinnett Tech then learned that most I.T. jobs require a bachelors degree. Very little of my credits transferred. If it was me, go to common 2 year college (perimeter for me) and get a Associates. All of those credits transferred to Southern Poly where I am going for my bachelors. Don't waste your time like did. If you ever think about getting a 4year degree stay away from Gwinnett Tech.

Certs help, especially with little experience when you are trying to get your foot in the door to show that you know your stuff, but don't think a cert always = high paying job.
