I dont know what you consider young enough to take my time but I am 29 and feel like I got a late start as I just graduated last year.
I am now 53 with 5 kids and attempting to obtain an Electrical Engineering degree. I would consider you young compared to me.
I brought up the point about Electrical vs Electronic degree because it is not percieved as the same thing regardless how you interpret it. In many ways it is a perception that can hurt when trying attempting to obtain a better position.
Its up to you to decide what path you take, just be aware of what others deem appropriate or accept when looking at education and work experience.
All this is just advice from someone that is attempting, NOW, what you desire in the future. Look at all options, talk to all those concerned that you can, and investigate all possibilities. I am not convinced, yet, that online degrees are worth the paper you print them on BUT I may be wrong. I know my 2 year Associates degree is worthless which is why I am attempting to obtain a higher degree.
All I can say is I did not do what I could have when I was younger and now have to pay for that indecision.
Think about your education as a financial investment, in many cases you will divide investments into categories i.e. short term, mid-term, and long term goals. Investigate what you can do in those categories to fulfill your overall plans for the future. DO NOT jump on one option because it appears to fill the needs you see NOW...investigate if it will fulfill the needs NOW and the future.
If you have made up your mind then you have made up your mind, these are just suggestions so use them as needed or wanted.
NOTE: All degrees, whether technical or not, have differences in application. It is your choice what aspect of that field you want to obtain a specific education.
