Education – Android and IOS development

Hello! My name is Evgeny Goldin. I come from a poor family, with divorced parents and a 8 years old sister. I've just done my service of Israel defense force, and now can begin planning my personal career and life. I want to study programing and there are two choices on how to do it in Israel. First is to get a degree in Software engineering and the second is to take special courses in Android and IOS development, which is much cheaper and faster. I'm planing on study android and ios development, get a job in the field and then save money for a degree. As I mentioned before, I come from a poor family, and helping my mother mostly. Specially because my father doesn't pay child support. I'm already known to java developing language and Android platform. Currently I'm trying to study by my self, and hopefully I will get certificate in Android and IOS development by your help!
