Default Computer/Networking Major?

I am considering switching my major, and going into a computer related field rather than psychology. I have around 30-40 credits right now of general courses.

I am thinking of looking into the ITT-Tech type of schools that offer accelerated degree programs, but I currently work overnight and might be moving back to days in the next 6 months so I can't really put myself into a set schedule yet.

I am thinking of starting with online classes, but I am not sure what I want to do yet.

I have a decent amount of knowledge regarding web design and online business/marketing, I currently run a websites, and have sold 10+ websites so far. I am starting to learn stuff like PHP and Flash, but my skills mostly pretain to HTML and CSS coding.

So what do you guys think?

Think what what exactly? Should you switch? Probably....unless you have some sort of passion for Psychology. What else are you asking? Should you take online classes? Not unless you want an online quality education.

I think it's obvious, I was looking for advice from people in the field or who have experience with the schools I listed.

Its not...and you did not list any schools. Oh, I guess you mentioned ITT-tech. Should you go there? I guess if you want a boring tech that is prone to outsourcing.

What is suppose to be the basis for the advice? All you said is that you've made some basic websites and you're thinking of switching and going into a tech program. You could flip a coin?

Yes....and you're not getting my point. There is nothing to recommend to you because you have not given enough information. Why did you originally pick psychology? What were you planning on doing? What exactly do what to do? etc. How can someone give you a a recommendation if they don't know what you want to do with your life?!

It would depend a lot on things like you moving to northern Arizona for 12 months before you move to California.

Then again, your gf wants to move to Vancouver and so you are checking it out so you can smoke dope there.

But then again, you are going to buy property and build a house near Flagstaff -

I'd suggest you make a DECISION as to where you are going to settle FIRST - THEN DECIDE what to take in school.

You do online class from anywhere there is internet, and with my handy-dandy Verizon USB Wireless I can do class almost anywhere.
