Certificates or Bachelors Degree? Hello, I'm a 21 year old College student who will finish his Associates degree in Information Technology this fall. I just thought I would reach out and get some advice. Would it be better to go to a 4 year university (I currently attend a community college) and get a Bachelors degree in Information Technology or would it be better to buckle down this summer and get my Network + and Security +. Would it be better to get a Bachelors degree? I'm not going to lie I'm very nervous about my future I don't know what too expect my parents never attended college and I just worry if I go to a 4 year university I will be taking out unnecessary loans when I could of got those certificates and be in the job field by next Spring.
