My degree is a basic Associate of Science. I am mostly self taught. I originally was going for an Accounting degree, but switched it towards the end so that I could transfer and work on my Bachelor's. I would like to go back and get my Bachelor's, but I don't want to incur any more student loan debt. Until I can save up enough to go back, I am relying on my experience. I've been working at various companies throughout my 14 years in the IT field. I started out working at a small mom and pop computer store (5.5 yrs), spent some time as a contractor (Migration and help desk for 2.5 yrs), help desk for 24x7 Internet banking (1.5 yrs), then spent 6 months on a state funded vacation when that tanked. From there, I worked at Convergys for a couple of months, then got a job at an ISP for 5.5 yrs. I started out there as help desk, but moved up to a systems engineer position. From there, I moved to my current position as a Systems Administrator at my current job. I still do a little help desk work, but nowhere near what I used to do. If I had a Bachelor's, I'd like to think that I could have gotten here faster, but some of the poor decisions I made earlier with the way I handled my money has kept me from going further. I wish you well.
