Career Options

[Ideas]

$40/hr plus benefits seems pretty hard to make from home without years of experience. Did you see any remote IT jobs that you're interested in going for? One of my issues is that I'd hear about a certain job that paid well, and it would sound fine to me. So I would be excited and start looking for a degree program that matched. But eventually when I went to look for actual job openings, I would find that there were very few, and that they wanted years of experience or had other job roles that I couldn't handle. And this is for non-remote.

I wouldn't get the MBA if you are trying to get a non-management IT job. Better to spend the time getting certifications and building sample projects (for the areas of IT where sample projects make sense).
