Greetings :
Which is better ? to go for a 4 year college degree or cut it short and go for a certification from a tech institute?
I am a young blood interested in the IT field , looking at the courses being given at most the universities where i live and comparing them to the direct / specialized courses that I would get at a tech inst , I found out that the latter is better than the former and I will be given courses in the following :
Linux
Cisco Overview
Windows 2000 Professional
Windows 2000 Server Intro
Microsoft Office 2000 Professional
Outlook 2000
Lotus Notes
Networking Concepts
Novell NetWare 5.1 Intro
Windows 98
Non of the courses above are given at the university .
I would appreciate some advice from the pros on this subject.
