College rather than University

[neufelni]

I am in Grade 12 and am interested in pursuing a career in programming. However, I don't think I'll be going to university, but college instead. What are my chances of getting into a programming career with just a college dimploma?

I would probably go to Fanshawe College in London. It the closest to home, the program description sounds good, and they have co-op. Here is some course information.

What do you think of this program and my chances of getting into programming with a college diploma?

I'm 5th semester CP/A there right now and the program pwns
I've done other CPA courses at other colleges and quite due to lack of in-depth content, but Fanshawe offers a fantastic course outline.

Hit me up on Aim: jsdecrim or ICQ: 16168695 if you got a bunch of questions, I got no trouble answering them.

The chicks here are smoking hot too...definately good eye-candy

Umm... what? You sir, are crazy. UW (contrary to popular opinion) has many hot girls. Most are in arts or heath sciences, a few in math; and there are supposedly a couple of girls in engineering.

Laurier has girls, and a few of them may be hot, but laurier girls are known more for their "openness" then for it's hot girls.
