I think it depends on what area of work you want to attend. If you want to be a lawyer or teacher, you need to have higher education. But if you want to work in IT, I believe that the better choice is Cisco certification. No matter you don’t need to go to university, just need to join the online training to get the certificate quickly. I have been this way too. I’m very satisfied with my new life and if you are interested at Cisco certification, I can give you a place to study. passhot.com. Hope you can find your goal as soon as possible!
