Do you need a bachelors in computer programming?
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.
Reply:I know that the last three jobs I worked would not consider a person without a Bachelors in computer science.
Reply:all you need is practice. rather than going for an degree.
