My friend received a bachelor degree online at WGU; check the link below. You can truly get a job; you also have to go to a local college to get certified after graduation. My friend went an extra year to be certified.\n\nGood Luck!!!

do you have a degree to back this all up? with out the degree you wont get where you want or even deserve to be.\n\nIf you have your degree then go to a collage or training program and ask for the "job test" it is where you sit and answer a million questions, then they put your answers in the computer and the computer tells you where you would be good at. Then you can find a job in what your best at.\n\nif you dont have a degree, then consider school for another 4 years and get your degree, you should complete it fairly fast if you already know it all.\n\nGood luck.

That seems kinda silly if you have a bachelors degree to have to go back to get a associates in child development. Is there any way you could just take a couple child dev. courses to substitute?? Have you spoke with any child care licensing specialists (from the state) about your situation? Or how about a R&R (resource and referral agency) most states have them? Google "your state name" Child Care Resource and Referall Agency

It's EXTREMELY important to get a college degree if you want a decent job.  Today's job market is much more competitive than it has *ever* been.  Today, bachelor's degrees are the *standard* (whereas a generation ago, a high school diploma was) for a *decent* job.  For anything beyond a decent job (and by decent, I mean simply steady employment with enough pay to *just* get by), you'll need an advanced degree.

I studied Computer Science at Sydney University Australia, part of that was learning web development.

It depends on you... Though there are lots of opportunity for IT gradduates now adays.  I must say try MIS, Computer Eng, or Some Specialty courses like Web dev, DB Management etc... It all depneds on how you love your job.

Online courses generally are good for those continuing education credits required to look like you're actually involved in, ahem, professional development.  I'd be cautious about pursuing a totally online degree for a serious career move/change.  I'd say the best people to ask about reliable and accredited programs are the ones who'll be doing the hiring after you're done. If you don't have any particular place to hire on in mind, ask the government offices hiring your type of expertise which online diplomas they recognize, and value more.

Of course, this all depends on where you live. An Associates Degree, depending on what type of degree of course, should certainly help you land a fairly descent position.\n\nIn Canada we have Career Development Centres across the country. These places are great! You can find out virtually everything you need for your career. They can answer a number of questions for you: \n1. Where the jobs are located?\n2. What prerequisites are required?\n3. What type of training is required?\n4. How much will the training cost?\n5. What is the potential for future promotions?\n6. How much earning potential is there?\nand much, much more...\n\nThese Centres answer a major number of questions as they normally have a "Career Library" which is dedicated to helping you towards a rewarding career.\n\nI've provided some links but I'm sure there are many others out there. Good luck!

since you don't have a degree or anything like that, it's goin to be pretty hard to get any kinda job, what you could do is either build a killer application that no company could do without, and sell yourself that way, or get online, and search for online courses, or certs that'll prove that you know your stuff, good luck, hope ye find a job\n\nR3dm0

No -- you don't need an associate's degree.  It is an irrelevent degree.  It merely means that you completed two years at a school that doesn't grant four year degrees.  If you spend two years at the worst community college in the country, you can get an AA.  If you spend two years at Harvard getting a 4.0 then leave -- you don't get a degree -- you are called a college dropout.\n\nMost students who get a BA or BS do not get an associate's degree first.\n\nTransfer as soon as possible.  Good luck.

I have an Associate's degree in finance, but haven't gotten a single job offer in that field.  I have a great job in data entry, in which I have no formal training.  Does that answer your question?

That's going to be difficult. You really should start looking into MS cert tracks, even if it's just an MCP, or look at the N+ offered by comptia. \n\nWithout the degree or any certs, you're going to have an up hill battle.\n\nYou could to contract work while you work on your certs or take a High level help desk position with a company and they may even pay for your certs.

It depends on what your degree is

There are two things that you need to realize:  \n\nFirst -- there are no good on-line colleges.\n\nSecond -- an Associates Degree in Business won't do that much for you (unless you plan to go on to a four year college).
