Is it really neccessary to get a bachelos in computer programming or am i good with an AS? I would really love to know. Thank you
I am asking because i don’t really see that many programs that offer a Ba in Computer Programming. Also,can anyone tell me what kind of money a freelance web designer/programer could make?
It really depends on what you want to do. But if your intention is to get a full time job in development soon after graduating, I would strongly suggest going for the bachelor’s degree. Programming is difficult to learn, and knowing this, companies like to see that somebody spent a longer time period learning it before offering them programming jobs. That is not to say that you can’t get a job in programming with just an AS, especially if you have good skills. But I can almost gaurantee that you won’t make as much money as someone who has a BS in a similar position.

I know that the last three jobs I worked would not consider a person without a Bachelors in computer science.
