Bachelors Degree VS Associates VS Certifications… I know its old :)

by jalee1011 . Updated 17 years, 5 months ago

Hey everyone-

I have a personal dilemma. ITs all about the risk of decisions so some of you will have opinions that I would love to hear.

I am my companies software developer, junior network admin, 24×7 pc support and our fuel and POS equipment technician. I am certified in gasoline, electrical and verifone POS equipment. I have an A+, Network+ (2007)… finishing my studies on CCNA, and supplementing that with my hands on networking at my company.
I am working on my bachelors degree as well, and I just hit the halfway point.
Work 50+ hours a week, school for 14 credits, studying for certifications and on-call 24×7….
thats the life of what we do I know 🙂 and I know everyone has had that point in their career.

here is the question:
Do I continute to kill myself getting that all important piece of BS from the university?
Or do I complete an A.S. in Computer Communications (Windows Networkking, Cisco Networking, 2003/2007 Office apps, SQL, ASP and wed server development?)

The A.S degree is the hands approach to a technologist right? and The B.S. is more for management???

I dont know…

signed…
Utterly Freakin Confused 🙂
