Is there a good school in socal that I can attend or a good online school?
If you’re in San Diego, UCSD has a great Computer Science program. If you already have a BS and are going to pursue a Master’s, SDSU’s graduate program has lots of evening classes, making it easier to do while maintaining a day job. In LA, USC and UCLA both have excellent programs.
Why is the 9 moth cert program not going to work?
If you’re looking for a solid career path, you need a good foundation. Most software development companies will not hire programmers without a BS. Like any engineering discipline, you need a solid base. It’s not easy, but if you’re willing to stick to it and work hard it is rewarding.
