I have a Bachelor's of Business Administration (concentration General Business) and work in a professional job as a business process analyst. Recently my work has required me to do some web site and Intranet site maintenance and I have found this really enjoyable. I do not care for what I do now and am interested in switching careers to web design or perhaps web development. What schooling, degrees or certifications should I pursue to make a successful jump into this field?

You could go to college for a web development diploma as you support yourself with your current job. With a diploma, you can then work your ways up in the field. I don't think a degree in it is necessary; the Internet changes programming code every 18 months, so the Internet would change too much by the time you would finish a degree. That's why I recommend a diploma rather than a degree or trade school. i went to a trade school and they didn't teach, but they took my $5,000; crooks. I went to a college for a diploma in Web development and I got a good education. I'm still in the college now.
