I am open to any of the areas. I work full time, so online may work best. However I am concerned if it is a good idea for me to study online, especially with no real knowledge of the field. If I could find a school that would be able to work around my schedule that would be great, I would really like to have hands on training.
Honestly I don’t know all that much about the industry. I need to investigate it more the make my decision. Are there alot of different areas to software testing?
There are indeed: overall QA, functional, usability, and the one that gets overlooked all too often: security. Spend some time reading through the content at SearchSoftwareQuality.com and you’ll be able to get a feel for the different areas. The articles/webcasts/podcasts I link to on my site may be worth checking out as well.
