It's best to earn a bachelor's degree or an associate's degree because when apply for a job at any said company, they want someone who completed college compared to someone who took a certification course.
For an example, if you want to become a software developer for a company, they don't really care about you completing a certification program, anyone can do that within a few days. A bachelor's degree is what they want, it tells them that you completed college and you put in enough effort (and more) to say, "Oh ya dude, I passed and I'm ready for anything that hits my path!".
I'm assuming you're wondering if you should go to college...
Here is my advice > Just go, it'll be like a safety net if things start to fall apart in the future, a certification program won't help you that much compared to an actual education that'd help you in the long run.
