tough decision

[ebpda9]

It has came to a pint in my life where i have to make yet another important decision (and it is not concerning cars). I have been looking for a job and i can't find anything good so i am stuck here with valet parking. Well there is this program microsoft offers for MCP, MCSA, MCSE and it is a 24 week program that offers classes and the tests to become certified. The downside of it is that it will run me $24000 to attend it. Also the local college offers the same classes and i could go out with about $4000 for the certifications, but in the order they offer the classes i will be done next year about this time. Also there is the home study kits that will run me about $125 but i think the hands on experience will be a lot better, than the home study and will offer a more rigurous schedule, then just let me study on my own (i am a lazy bastard if you didn't know already). And my last option will be to finish my associates degree in computer science which i will be done with next spring. I know the best option kinda sounds the first one, but i don't have 24k laying around, and i have about half that in debt right now so i don't know which way i should chose. also i don't wanna spend the next 25 years in a factory. Any ideas and suggestions please ?
