After doing some research, I’ve just requested information on earning my Associates from DeVry Online.  It’s my goal to enroll in either Westwood Online or Pheonix Online in the future, but I figure it will cost me less money by enrolling with an Associates in order to earn my Bachelors.  The credits from DeVry would carry over to both of the Bachelor’s based programs so I wouldn’t need to spend so much money to achieve my long-term goal.

As for now, it will get me back into the swing of things and even though I already have a solid background in Web Design, I hope to further my career by adding Flash to the mix.  While I don’t see myself ever mastering it, I know I’ll be able to easily manipulate things so I can bring in some more clients for myself instead of having to outsource that work to someone else who’ll over charge me for it.  I hope things work out the way I see them in my head, I’ll know for sure when the ball starts rolling.

I also know, based on the jobs down here, that having even the associates in computer science will get me pretty far.  A lot of companies are looking for the minimum of a 2-year degree and that’s a starting $40,000 salary for me.  I just hope to get my foot in the door so I could afford school, heh.
