You might make more working as a consultant than as a full time employee, but work isn't always steady when you do that. That's just my .

You might want to look into the classes you are going to be taking. My best guess is that they are going to be teaching you SQL at some point since the most common database systems are Oracle and Microsoft SQL Sever and both of with use a version of SQL.
I don't mean right away, I mean after a few years of experience. And i'll probably transfer to a four year college after I get my associates I'd much rather study herpetology and will most likely go back to school for that, but I need something to fall back on.
