Study Plans

I am Jose, but everybody call me “Pepe”. I am from Peru. I came to New York almost three years ago. My goal is start a new career, maybe I get my Associate Degree in Computer Sciences in some college here. I am not sure yet, because study in the U.S. is too expensive. Maybe I should back to my country for short time and study a certificate program in Website Designer or Web Developer. After all, it’s the same software and acknowledges, it’s the same computer language (Visual Basic, C+, DHTML, XML, Php, Java, etc) Every day, I visited and review jobs offers in IT jobs, Craig list and Career Builder websites, also I saw the companies hiring people with only certificate programs.
