Graphic Design and Programming?

by tobe-soft . Updated 20 years, 5 months ago

I find school hard, but I’m back in it doing my Software Engineering degree. Is it worth it? Here?s what I’m working with:
I have a BA in Graphic Design ? with concentration on Web dev. and illustration. (5 years experience)
I’m working as a Technical Writer for a compressor company ? manuals and illustration. (2+ Years)
I?m almost a junior at a good university in Software Engineering.
I know C++ and VB-whatever fluently (VB.Net, VB6, VBScript, VBA for Excel and Access) and I am learning Java.
I have my I-Net cert and working on my MCSD cert in VB.Net.

However, I?m still finding it intimidating. My wife tells me that I?m worth more (I get 13 dollars an hour) and I know it, but it?s hard to have confidence in where I fit in the industry.

Any advice at all from anyone would really help me out.
