Get a Master degree. Its all about the concepts youll learn, not the diferent software version, those, anyone can learn, even get certified, but the concepts and the structural thinking youll get from a masters degree its a competitive advantage in the job market

You will be a manager sooner...so if you want to stay working on technical subjects you don't need an MBA, but if you want to manage or start your own firm the MBA is helpful.

Masters is always better than bachelors, but you usually need the bachelors before you can get into a masters program.  Sometimes schools have a 4 + 1 program where in 5 years you can earn a undergrad and masters, but its rare.

You need a degree. the word diploma brings a notion of low education. even though its for a PC repair tech, it stills comes across as uneducated. Forget the online crap and either go to a real school or pray you get hired somewhere.

Depends on what you want to do. Multimedia field has a ton of opportunities but most of those depend on  your skills and portfolio rather what kinda degree you have. Now, if you want a management position then you need a Master's otherwise you'll likely be overqualified for any other position.

maybe civil engineering. but Tech is fairly dead unless your living in south east asia, or from india. \nand the more math you know, the easier computer science courses tend to be. \n\nYou should REALLY consider the Health care industry. they get paid a lot of money and they have a growing need, while tech is seriously declining or being outsourced to foreign countries.

The more education you have, the more potential opportunities are available to you. Ask yourself, how far do I want to go in life?What level of success do I want to achieve? If you want to flip burgers or deliver pizza, I wouldn't study for a Master's degree. Standards are set for a minimum level of education so that society can be somewhat assured of your ability to function within it, anything beyond that remains soley your choice.

They are a good way to get a degree for people with limited time, such as working parents, etc.\n\nMy friend received her master's degree through online courses.  It took her only one year as opposed to the normal two years.  She had to write papers and participate in weekly chat groups, but nothing very extensive.  While she's enjoying the salary hike thanks to having her master's degree, she says that she didn't really get a lot from the courses themselves.  She also admits that she didn't put as much effort into it as she could have, though.\n\nIf you were able to choose either online courses or a traditional classroom setting for your bachelor's degree, however, I would definitely opt for the classroom!

TechSkills is great considering your limited time and crazy schedule. But as far as the IT certification, I can find out for you.

Completing a masters degree is a maturing process.  You don't do it for the money because it doesn't necessarily lead to more money, but it does lead to a depth of understanding of your subject area and yourself that doesn't happen with undergraduate work.\n\nI remember my first masters seminar class - just 4 students in the class.  The professor sat at the end of the table and asked each of us to write on index cards at least 10 things we wanted to learn from the class.  We each wrote furiously for a few minutes, wanting to impress him with our desire to learn great things.  He collected the cards, and spent a minute or so pondering each one, a few quiet "Ah ha's" and "Hmm's" as he did so.  Then he looked at us, and said in his magnificent voice, "Now go and find out."  That is what a masters is about - figuring out what you want to learn, and then doing it.\n\nI hope this helps.

I've known people who obtained MBAs and those who obtained Masters degrees.\n\nAsk these questions of yourself:\n-Are you good with numbers?\n-Do you prefer working with numbers or mechanical objects/tools?\n-Do you want to manage *people* or *projects*?\n-Will you have a good command of the language where you will have your job?\nIf all of these are true, the MBA is a good program for you.\n\nIf you are better with projects than with people, (that is, you prefer to build things rather than manage people) then the Masters degree is better.  One thing to consider:  your future employer should say what Masters degree and what thesis they want, and *how much more* they will pay you if you get it.  \n\nIf they will only pay 3% more per year, don't get the Masters degree.  I know many engineers that obtained the Masters degree and can't find jobs, or are underpaid - a BS degree is enough. \n\nA PhD degree will pay much more, but even then, only if the employer is willing to give you the job.  It is up to you to confirm that the job will be high paying *BEFORE* you get the graduate degree.\n\nP.S. I apologize for the comments of the first answerer - he is worried he will lose his job to someone who is willing to work hard to get an advanced degree.  He is correct that a college graduate must have excellent communication skills to get respect in the working world.

Be aware of ITT Tech. Their commercials are very misleading and you are unlikely to get a job as they show on the commercials without another degree from another college. If you read the small print on the commercials you'll notice that those students went to ITT tech, then earned a bachelor and even masters other places. Be sure that they are regionally accredited.

Obviously a Masters degree helps in long run.\nBeside value addition, it also boosts up your confidence.\nAlso, you get a good package if you do your masters from a really good institute.

You should be looking at HnD courses. These last a year and sometimes you don't have to provide a final report at the end, instead you do a lot of small projects. HnD courses mainly aim for people who need just a basic qualification and they are not the same as the normal 3-year degrees that give you a BSc or BA etc.

Distance learning is good if that institution is accredited to do so. Same job oppurtunity is there. But better you do Certified Cyber Crime Investigator, not the other. Casue you are a lawyer!.

IT is such a broad field though, you should try to focus on an area of IT such as networking, programming, database admin or design.  It would take an enormous amount of time and education to learn every single thing about IT.  You should consider going to a "good" college for technology and IT to learn and then follow up by getting a job and/or certifications in your area to showcase your skills.
