First of all I would like to thank the contributors of this website for being very credible and thoroughly comprehensive in many aspects. Which is why I am asking for your help and advice for the following questions. These may seem juvenile however I feel like I am at a crucial point in my life and wish to make the best of my time. My background:US citizen.HS graduate(if that even matters)
I have now finished taking a C++ course and will join a .Net or Java course, then go more advanced in whichever field. Right now I have about 1 year before my college starts(I've taken a year off after highschool since I was put in a gifted program and skipped a grade). I am planning on getting bs in Computer Science and minor in Mathematics.
My question is the following: Should I take Java or .NET.During this year off what would be extremely beneficial to learn? If I want to make a very high salary, what would be the best process... As in after college or during college where should I apply or what more academics should I pursue. Relocation after college is not a problem. It's not about the salary(cliche)but about being a leading expert in the field.
