Hello I am planning to get the higher education in computer field. I was planning to go to a 2 year college right after graduation so it’s easier for me to transfer. What do you think would be easier for me as a senior who is going to graduate from high school ? Would it be better for me to immediately go to a 4 year college or start at 2 year college for a start so it’s easier for me?

College is the funnest 4 (or 5) years of your life. If I were you I'd get away from home as soon as I could and let the good times begin.

Are you in the states? You don't transfer from high school to college here. You graduate from high school and then start college.

I'm not in the field, but would like to be.

I've been told by advisors at a couple of different schools to skip the degrees and just get certificates for the computer skills I need for the particular job I want.

If you want to be in tech field, getting certificates and associates may be enough. If you want to be in management, getting a bachelor's or mba might be more beneficial.

Some people prefer the 2 year option first, so they can get an associates degree (or certificates), and start earning bigger money while they go on for their bachelors. This may be good for people who plan on working while they are going to school. You probably are going to a community school, so the prices are generally cheaper. Most credits will transfer easily from a 2 year to a 4 year.

I would recommend going straight for a bachelors degree though. That way you don't have to switch schools in the middle - and can get all the way through before you get the full time job where you start earning the real money. Since this way you are going straight through, you will start getting the bachelor's salary earlier than if you took your time getting that bachelor's.

Generally each degree gives you about $20,000 more - high school vs college vs masters vs phd. Not sure about the associates.

I'd recommend going straight from high school to a 4 year college. Unless you had to go to a 2 year first (like because of finances), I wouldn't do it. The reason is that most 2 year schools have REALLY low transfer rates among their students to 4 year schools. It's really easy to get distracted and never transfer, whether because of work, fellow students, or whatever. You are taking a chance because you're adding an extra hurdle to getting into a 4 yr college.

Go to a 4 year college or university. Believe me, it is not worth stressing yourelf out for a 2 year university. It is better to keep everything wide spread so you can discover your talent. I have been in college for almost 5 years and have gone through 4 different majors. Freshman year was a big adjustment for me.

It depends on the person; how prepared you are for college, how you handle new situations/change.
Going from high school to college academically was no struggle for me.
Some of my friends seriously struggled.
I would suggest going straight to a 4 year college, but if you want to save money then goto a community college.

It relies upon on the college. i'm no longer acquainted with Bay path college, yet some faculties (public universities, exceptionally) are set as much as have extra flow than 4-twelve months scholars, and this is extra basic to flow. At different faculties (as a rule private faculties), maximum of their scholars are available as newcomers and that they in simple terms take a constrained form of flow scholars. we've had years as quickly as we took NO flow scholars different than into courses, like physics and information structures, that have been hurting for college scholars.

the 2 year is much easier to get used to. a good transition from 3000 people to sometimes lower. better than switching from 3000 to 300,000
