Don't bother with an online college. Online classes suck ( don't learn as much ) and require way more work than if you were to go to school. Plus soical interaction is very important in the IT field.

JKing: Rock on! I wanted to be a cook for a long time.

davey: You may have a point the more I think about it...

Plus i forgot to mention email communication with a professor is a huge pain. If you have a simple question on why your function won't return the correct value you will probally be waiting at least 3 hours for him to tell you that you used ++ instead of -- on your counter variable. :-p

uhhh... He could go to school for IT and be a cook in his spare time?... being a cook does not require any schooling at all its all practice. If you can read you can cook its that simple.

I myself cook all the time and i wouldn't want to waste my time going to school to learn how to be one.

I cook all the time as well, and the ladies love my shrimp (don't tell my girlfriend that :p )

Well I don't think I would go to school just to learn how to cook.

[JKing]

Speaking of cooking, I had the great idea of making a BBQ at 1AM last night on my firepit. It was rather gehtto seeing that i used a oven rack and a firepit as my BBQ. It was fun, just make sure you bring a flashlight to see how cooked your meat is.. It was rather under cooked :-p

[shadowforte]

I had chicken and potatos. It is leaveing me praying to the alkaseser god for a good burp.

[JKing]

+1 to davey

Online college / classes are worthless.

It shouldn't be a question. There is no reason for anyone to not go to college and get some kind of degree. Even if you don't have the money, there are very competitive student load programs, and the government offeres all kinds of help, you just have to know where to look.

I am in my third year in a Network Engineering major at a top tech school. I work at an amazing company who is the largest in it's industry. One of the top 10 technology companies in the world and make the most of any of the people in my major already by 20%.

A little hard work and motivation, you'll get very far. To be competitive in this world you need an education. Now, even having a bachelors degree is not really enough. I plan on going to MIT for a masters in Network / Internet security. The default degree for my children will be a masters, since everyone else that wants to get to the top will have one. My childrens's children well all need PhDs to be competitive. It's the More's law of education.

Check my post in the Cars thread and you can see what it's gotten me.
