<p>I have been asking myself this exact question. I am currently going to Portland Community College and I plan to transfer to a 4-year college in 2015, most likely PSU, because it is nearby and affordable. The lack of information on the web about PSU is driving me crazy.</p>
<p>It sucks to be in a position where one moment you think “after a few years of work experience, it won’t matter where I went to school, and in time, I can be anyone I want to be” and another moment you think “I am getting a mediocre education that is setting me up for a mediocre life.”</p>
<p>The general consensus I get from software developers’ answers to questions like this on the web is that software development is the field in the world with the greatest upward mobility.</p>
