I agree fully with what's been written here.
I have a degree in Business IT that followed OO programming on the computer languages side and that part of the course has been practically useless to me. Luckily it was the business mgt. and strategic planning side I wanted to study in detail and I got a very good grounding in those areas.

As part of that degree, I also had to complete a years work experience and I was fortunate to get a job in Switzerland working for an international company. That experience was necessary for the degree stage pass and I gained a great deal from the experience to back up my time in university.

If you do decide to study something new, I would suggest you look into the options for on the job training to go hand in hand with your chosen course so that you complete it with work experience to back up your certificate. The plus side to this is that your work experience employer, may consider you for a permanent position once you pass giving you instant employment.
