I know, I was doing free code camp for a few months. I realized I could get a degree online in under 2 years for $16,000 total. I’m doing about half the courses on study . com which is $240/mo, and it should take me about 7 months to do that. If I can finish my courses at the university (online) in under 6 months, I will only pay $4000 for the term. So about $5,600 and 13 months of my time to have a BS in Computer Science.
I figure it’s better to just get the degree. It will look good on a resume, and I will have a deeper understanding going into things.
