Should I get an associate degree in audio engineering or a dilpoma certificate?
I’m currently going to my local community college for an audio recording degree and I’m not to happy with it. There are too many students in one class and its hard for the teacher to help you one on one. I decided that I wanted to try another school and the top schools such as Full Sail cost to much so I came across another school where you actucally learn everything in a real studio. The price is very reasonable and the course usually last about six months. They say that most of the classes and sessions are just with you, the instructor and the artist. Everything sounds good but the only problem is that I’m wondering will it be better for a job if I went there and got actual studio training with a certificate or if I stayed at this college and got an associate’s degree. If I stay here, I have about a year and a couple of months left…..

The question is how many jobs will this major have? How many students across the country major in this? What’s the chances of you getting a job? Why don’t you go to real college? Become a nurse. An engineer. A teacher.

A degree will stay with you forever, a certificate runs out every so many years. You could do both, stay and obtain your associates degree, then obtain the certificate. If you should change your mind later, you will still have your degree even when your certificate expires.

full sail is a rip off and i know of someone who went there and couldnt get a job afterwards cause the place he applied to said that full sail is not a credible “university”
but you should stay at your college and get the degree, and then after that go get that certificate and actual studio training. but thats just my opinon
