    Opening a school?

    Hello it's been forever since I've been on here like 2 years lol wow.

    But down to business. Ok well I was wondering what kind of steps would I have to go through to open up my own web design and development school?

    I think I would of course have to get a degree in Computer Science and then get a teaching license? But there is a ton of other stuff I know ill have to do I just don't know where to start?

    Where are you planning to do this? This is something I would totally be interested in. I don't think the CS degree is required to start it either, perhaps your professors teaching CS should have degrees, but I'd be comfortable teching about a range of topics and I have no degree and I've worked with a lot of other (good, great and not so great) programmers that were self taught.

    Thanks for support but I have a whole other year of high school left. Im just trying to see what I have to do now. Im planning on opening it up in a business building and me teaching it until I start making ok money. then expand it into it's own building. Then hire staff. finally start franchising. but thats just the surface of it.

    In that case I would educate yourself about different languages and the business of websites. start building crappy ones and make them better and better . CS degrees are good for some, but people rarely graduate with the skills to be good programmers, let alone to teach it to others, that comes more form experience. A few years ago I had three people under me including one with a Masters Degree, and I had a lot to teach her. she's now a very good programmer, but it took a few years. School is typically light on coding and heavy on theory, which is by no means useless, but it isn't the whole picture.
