I agree with Faulkner, save your time and money and go get a degree in CS if you can. Even an associates degree with an internship holds more weight in my opinion. When I look at candidates for our IT department I look for a degree, degree in progress, or IT internships more than an A+ cert.

I mean no disrespect to those going the certification route, just speaking from my experiences.

Your plan to get a BS degree at ITT Tech is a good way to go and ISS is highly sought after. Good Luck!
