Hello I am new to this forum, I was in search of a place to discuss a roadblock i hit in my college career. Getting straight to the point, I am enrolled in a community college and get enough financial aid to buy books and generally afford the classes and other materials for the classes. However I was recently employed at the business I work at to be a part-time programmer and the only other IT member. My major is computer programming in various fields but specializing in web development . I am not sure if I should get 4 associate degrees and 4 certifications or 1 bachelors degree from a 2 year college. MY main problem is throughout all the local and state colleges of my area it seems most require me to take 2 years of high educational second language. I have never been able to learn a second language, i have taken 5 different classes while in high school and my first year in college and I cant learn any language. I tired Spanish (i was grown up with), Japanese, Germany, Russian, and French. It would take me the same time to get 4 associates and 4 certifications as it would be to try to get a bachelors. That is my main logic as well as money, I can’t afford a 4 year university. When i was a senior of high school last year I was accepted to every university I applied to, that is not a problem, it’s mainly money and the fact i haven’t been able to learn another human language. In fact for work I learn 5 more computer languages within a month. Im just not sure what would help me later in life. Another reason i’m leaning away from a bachelors is because the Lead programmer from my work is 70 and is getting ready to retired and im being eyeballed to take his place.
