I am interested in pursuing a career in the computer field. I am a senior in high school, but I have started my college by taking "Introduction to Programming and Logic". If I continue down this path, I will get an Associates Degree in Computer Programming (which apparently means nothing) and I can transfer after that as a junior to a four-year university to get a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or Information Systems. What path would you guys recommend I take. Should I continue down the programming path or should I switch over to the CISCO Certifications (which I hear will get you a job quicker)? What certifications (A+, Network+, etc.) should I try to get along the way?
