I posted in off topic first with no response.
I am 42 years old and want to make a career change into Networking. I have been self-employed the last 6 years daytrading, but I am now burnt out from it. Computers have been my passion the last 8 years. I build my own machines and have wired my home for my network, 6 computers running Windows 2000 Professional. I can't decide what would be the better education path to pursue.
The Chubb Institute has a 5-month full time Network Diploma Program, $14,000 for 480 classroom hours and 24 credits. (Chubb seems very professional and a well run organization to me.)
My local Community College has a Networking Prep course and MCSE certification course that also runs about 5-months, $5,000 for about 370 classroom hours and 0 credits.
Any input would be appreciated as I feel totally confused at this point.
Thanks in advance!
