Microcomputers For Business Option

All the others specialise in computing
the market is flooded with qualified programmers
its hard to get programming work.

I don't think that's far off.

Your first two are probabaly your best bet but look at the curriculum for the programs, some may be very similar to each other. If you can, try a double-major (do you declare majors now in 2-year colleges?) if the two degrees are close (I was able to get a second degree just by taking an extra course or two).

If I'm reading your post correctly (and I'll assume your school structure is similar to the US since I can't see a location in the reply screen), you are going for associates degrees (two year)? Take my advice, and one regret of mine, don't stop when you're done with those two, continue on to batchleor's degrees. At most, take a summer off (normal summer vacation). Don't take a year off, don't take six months off, don't skip a semester, you will find it hard to get back into it.

Here I am, over 10 years after my second degree and kicking myself for not going to a 4 year school afterwards.

Make sure that you take enough courses in Economics and Business Administration.

Good Luck!

For a change, stop getting degrees and start working full time.

Take a year off and then decide on the next degree..

Get in the medical field, like nursing, x ray techs, etc etc, that is where everyone is making money.

Sold all of my worldly possessions in the US at 21, moved to Eastern Europe, and some how stumbled drunk on to a full ride scholarship to one of the oldest universities in the world.

Let the river carry you where it will my child... :D
