I have been reading about html and xhtml and also some of the css guide lines from the w3schools.com and I can basically build a simple html document with no images yet. I also know photoshop and flash basics.

My question to all professionals here is that: Should I enroll into a college course for like a B.S. (4 yrs ) or a Diploma ( 6 mons ) or just a certificate ( couple of weeks )? or Would I be able to learn more on my own and the good advise of others?

I know that education on this field or any field looks good on a resume.
I want to be able to design and to program a web site. no e-commerce or stuff like that yet. Any advise on this???]]> 08/26/04, 239 52 2004 2004:%i:1093542753 13:52:33 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/miscellaneous/does_education_worth_the_time_and_money/#p1211 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/miscellaneous/does_education_worth_the_time_and_money/#p1212 08/28/04, 241 10 2004 2004:%i:1093680606 04:10:06 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/miscellaneous/does_education_worth_the_time_and_money/#p1212 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/miscellaneous/does_education_worth_the_time_and_money/#p1213
Thank you ]]> 08/30/04, 243 36 2004 2004:%i:1093862216 06:36:56 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/miscellaneous/does_education_worth_the_time_and_money/#p1213 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/miscellaneous/does_education_worth_the_time_and_money/#p2764 I've had many discussions with people regarding whether a full blown college degree is essential or whether it's okay, or even more appropriate, to learn on your own. If you are a self-starter and don't want to hassle with jumping through hoops and learning "extra" (oftentimes useless) information, try reading some graphic design books on your own. You may find out that learning that way is difficult to do it alone, and you need something more structured. You can then start with a college course and escalate from there if you need to. A 4-year degree is expensive, so you should be confident that it will make sense to you economically.
My wife is an example of someone who hasn't needed to attend college to learn what she knows. She designed all of the website templates and Blogger templates for our website, and she's confident enough after six months of experimenting that she can teach Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, and other elements of web design.]]> 07/08/09, 189 10 2009 2009:%i:1247105413 22:10:13 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/miscellaneous/does_education_worth_the_time_and_money/#p2764 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/miscellaneous/does_education_worth_the_time_and_money/#p2870 08/11/09, 223 05 2009 2009:%i:1249963523 00:05:23 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/miscellaneous/does_education_worth_the_time_and_money/#p2870 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/miscellaneous/does_education_worth_the_time_and_money/#p2909
