I finish my Associates in Applied Science at a dinky little community college next fall, afterwards I'm not sure what I'll do. If I can lock down a good paying job with just the associates + certifications, then I'll probably just stick with that.

I'm an Information Systems - Computer Networking major and also taking Cisco Academy coursework towards a CCNA certification. After my associates my options are pursuing a Bachelor's in Information Systems funded with money I don't have or pursuing a CCNP certification.
