Best Answer:
1. Basically, any degree in IS (i.e. MIS) or IT can land you in a QA position. You want to focus heavily on learning several programming languages because you won't know what QA or QTP position you will get. Most of them require specific programming languages. You can also be a Database QA/QTP which would require programming language knowlegde related to Databases. You may want to get some programming certifications in addition to your 4-year degree. 2. Bachelor degree from an accredited college or university (a master's degree won't hurt either) 3. Unless you are on an internship, you won't have an offer after only 10 weeks of classes. 4. Difficulty depends on your level of comfort with computers, technology, and programming languages. 5. Basic tuition expenses. Plan to spend anywhere from $5,000 - $10,000 per year or more for your bachelor's degree and an additional $1,500 per certification you plan to obtain.
