Hello I would GREATLY appreciate any help or guidance you can provide in this matter.
I am a 21 year old student currently enrolled at the California State University of Los Angeles and I am currently preparing myself to begin working on my Electrical and Computer Engineering BS. Only problem is that I am paying for school out of my own pocket at the moment and as you guys probably know it is not cheap right now. So I want to find alternatives to getting my degree for cheaper perhaps. I know many schools like ITT Tech offer what many people call "watered down" education so this is why I want to be careful about where I go if I do find an alternative.
Also, I know that finding a good quality, fully-online BS program might be hard so if you guys can instead, refer me to any place where I can get an Associates degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering I would also appreciate that.
The reason I mentioned the Associates is because I've been reading and learned that by getting an Associates I can start seeking employment as an Electrical Engineering Technician (or a similar title). I know this will provide me with working experience in the field and definitely provide me with a better income to have a more comfortable living style and help pay for by Bachelors. I AM working full time at the moment for a surveillance company but the money is not all that. So what do you guys think about this Associates degree idea(or backup plan) of mine??
I have beginners experience with programming microcontrollers, building simple robots/circuits etc and I am very good at learning on my own, well at least when it comes to this subject since it is of great interest to me.(Idk if this helps but I thought I'd share)
Anyway ANY help would be very appreciate it since I've been trying to figure this out like crazy, I will continue to do research and see what I come up with as well.
P.S. Sorry for the long post
