Good-bye Mr. Chips
For some time now as the staffing in my department has settled, I have been making plans to get a degree in computer science. Recently though I have been giving thought to this and realized that at my age (38), going for a four year degree might not be the best course of action. I look at the fact that for the past five years I have been working in some capacity in private or contracted security. Couple that with my knowledge of computers and I can possibly look into taking a two-year degree in criminal justice along with A+ certification and some knowledge in programming languages (which I am currently doing) so that in 2-3 years get a job in security working with ip-based camera and access systems. It is like I told someone recently, the job market in the next few years might require some flexibility a four year college is not able to provide.
