Hi
Several friends of my nephew will graduate from high school this year.
They want to go to University for IT Degree, but they heard that obtaining various IT Certificate is more useful than IT Degrees (Microsoft, Cisco, Novell, Linux etc).
Is this true?
Which one is the best, IT Degree or certificates?
Which one is more flexible for the future?
Which one will get a better job?
Thank's.
Serious suggestion follows:
Tell them to move to India, educate themselves there (cheap, and still (close to) "top of the line"), and then find a suitable life over there, working for any of the worlds top software developer firms that are present there.
Software development is becoming a low-wage employment, like any other industrial employments. They have everything they need in India (and other low-wages countries too), like high education, top of the line computers, broad band Internet access, etc. India (and similar countries) is the future in this business.
