Even find it on google. Look around you will find amazing stuff online except the test answers. On this course test results bad even open everything.
But even intro java is online if look correctly.
You have a computer and net access search.

If I get an associate's in object oriented programming, and live in the NE USA, what should be starting pay be? I see sites that talk about having a bachelor's, which I plan on getting, but to start off with an associate's degree, how much should I make? I am guessing from 30-40 K?

It greatly depends on the area. NE USA as in a place in the woods of VT? Boston? NYC?
Having an associate's isn't going to help THAT much, it's what you can do will determine the pay scale. Do you do just small PHP stuff or do you have extensive experience in Java or C#?
30-40k is about right, but could be 45-50k if you're lucky to get in a good company in a good place (hint: the closer you go to NYC the higher the pay is, but life is more expensive too and the traffic sucks). A BS will help open significantly more doors - provided that you have the skills.
Focus more on LEARNING and building a strong skill set than on pay, at least for the beginning...

tao posted : I don't know what you would make, but I would advise you to efficiently spend your education dollars. Any pay you would receive would likely be offset by additional classes you would have to take to complete the BS in Computer Science. I would suggest trying to find some names at a shop and talk to a manager or two about the two year.

Frankly, you could probably get the same job with a two year degree in Mathematics and you will need all that math anyway. (You did not say, so should we assume the goal to is to attain a BS degree, right?)

Check the salaries listed for open positions with your (future) qualifications -- that's the best way to find the answer to your question. You could also contact the job/career counselor at the institution offering the degree (though be sure to back it up with real-world info, again actual open positions with their salaries posted).

Also there are numerous job/career websites that should have the kind of job postings you would apply for that will list the salaries.

howardfine posted : There is such a thing? I'm always highly suspicious of any school that claims to offer such a specialized diploma. If you applied to work for me, my first question would be, "What language is that in?".

What else does an associates in object oriented programming cover? Is it as math intensive? And so on.

What school is this? I'd bet it's likely something like ITT Technical Institute and not Washington University.
