Goodness knows, I have little experience in this, but here goes. I'm a student going to a Regional college here in the Okanagan. From what I've seen, regional colleges compare favorably with universities (our Universities are UBC, UVic, and SFU, all on the coast.). Of course, there will be some jobs where people won't even look at you unless you have a degree, but I hope they are in the minority. To a certian extent, you have a leg up with your first degree, in Psychology. As far as part-time work goes, a programming career seems to be more flexible in that respect. what I mean is that in addition to working in a DP department at a business, there are other businesses where you can work on a contract programming basis for the company. Or, you could hire out your services as a programmer. Programming as a career is, I think, perhaps the most flexible profession there is. Whatever you decide, go for it!
