Advice for IT path

[5chn4pp]

Your Location: Denmark
Your Age: 20
What kind of degree do you want?: Associate/Bachelor
Current Regional Accredited Credits: None

So I'm from Denmark and currently live there. I want to get a Bachelor in IT, but I'm unsure of the right path to do it. I already have a degree from a trade school and I'm currently working in the field not making much money. The vocational education also includes a CCNA certification but apart from that I don't have any academic credits. Just an apprenticeship and about 1 year of real work experience.

One path would be to take a diploma in IT from my home country, but this would only give me 60 ECTS and is nowhere near a bachelor in IT, and it would cost me about 13500 USD.

I would also have to relocate to the Capital of Denmark, which means my rent would increase 3x times at least.

This seems a bit too costly for what I get out of it, so I researched and came up with this alternative plan. I saw the Capella BS in Information Assurance and Cybersecurity and it looks really appealing to me, since I can study it 100% online from Denmark and they have their Flexpath system so I can take the degree for cheaper and faster. They are also recognized by NSA and DHS which I don't know will benefit me or not, but I hope it does. This just seems to be much better value. However, they require that international students "Attend an internationally recognized institution" and I really doubt my trade school is one of those. So the plan would be to get an AA degree using Sophia Learning, with that AA degree I meet that international requirement, and then I can apply and get that degree.

For the AA degree, I was thinking of just earning 45 credits using Sophia Learning, then taking the rest of the 15 credits from SNHU. Then I should be good to go?

My current budget right now would be about 400-500 USD a month that i can spend on education, but I might switch jobs later when I have more experience and then my budget increases. It should also be noted that I would probably like to move away from Denmark in the future, which is another reason for taking a degree from America which would be more recognized worldwide. (I think)

I want to kindly hear some of your opinions about this, since I don't really know the American system well, I just think that this Bachelor from Capella is worth more than the Diploma from DTU. Or if you have a third suggestion please let me know.

Thank you
