I would suggest looking at the local accredited junior colleges. One downside is all the other crap they make you take to get a degree. Some also offer technical degree programs. I would suggest Johnson County CC. - I hear they have some great programs. They are much more cost effective. Then of course there are tech schools. I don't want to start another flame war on which is best, so I suggest you check out as many as possible and choose the one that fits YOUR goals best. And if you have a hard time determining if certain courses would fit what you want, I'm sure there are plenty on this list who would offer their opinions. ;')> Brian > -----Original Message----- > From: crash3m [mailto:crash3m@crosswinds.net] > Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2001 1:27 AM > To: kclug@kclug.org > Subject: programming/network administration schools > > > My parent's recently offered to pay for some type of > technical schooling for > me.
