My cousin wasted a lot of time after matriculation and is now doing FA. He will be done with it next year and he was thinking what he should do. I looked at VU's website and found out about these associate degrees. There are 3 subjects; Database Management System, Web Design and Development and Computer Networking. Other than associate, I also look at their B.Sc Computer science program, which is also a 2 years program. He is interested in computers and he seems to be good at programming to me. Now I am worried because there are so many people in computer science (me too) and jobs are limited due to which even computer science people are turning towards networking and database jobs which are usually low paying as compared to software development or other mainstream work. Now, will an associate degree be able to help if the person has a good knowledge of his field. My cousin cannot go for 4 years program because his family has limited their support for him and he has to stand for himself asap. I am thinking, he should do associate, get a job, and after sometime go into the 5th semester of CS at VU as this option is valid. Your thoughts please.
Thank you.
