Careers after TESU Degree

[davewill]

Here's the deal, IMNSHO. A TESU BACS isn't going to impart a lot of skills. The coursework isn't as rigorous, and it's all self-taught. An in-person program at a 4 year school would include labs and internship opportunities that would help you become skilled. A TESU BACS is mostly going to benefit people who either have significant experience, but need a degree to check the box, or who are very self directed and motivated and will develop the skills needed to land a job on their own.

It's similar with BSBA CIS. The coursework alone probably won't be enough to land a good IT job. You'll need a lot of self-study and some certifications in all likelyhood.

That said, there are tons of people out there who have bootstrapped themselves by working for small outfits that were willing to take a chance on them, and climbing the learning curve on their own. Some even without degrees. But if you think that the degree will open doors all by itself, probably not.
