My goals involve changing the current web back to something more dispersed over thousands of sites as opposed to the top 30-35 owning 50% of the traffic. At the very least, providing an alternative as we've discussed here at times. My other interests involve refining ideas around browsing/file management within VR spaces, (think having your entire image or video gallery or folders, on a wall and being able to interact with them outside of windows.
Can some of you who have taken these courses offer some insight on what would be the best entry points, and what should be avoided?
Your "goal" is as ridiculous as trying to abolish currency and your interests dumb as fuck. If you are old enough to go to collage you should really have stopped being so naive a long fucking time ago.
Look at realistic career paths instead of dreaming about dumb shit you think would be cool and make your choice accordingly. Things like Database Analytics and Business Intelligence are relatively safe fields with lots of benefits if that's what you are after.

What do you mean? I'm legitimately trying to help you. You are only setting yourself up for some major disappointments and plenty of regret later on if you go around spewing garbage like that, you aren't in highschool anymore, dreaming is fine, but when it comes to your career choices you should be realistic.

Sounds like you weren't able to acheive your dreams user. It's alright, some of us don't have the drive to make something of ourselves. That's why you're here afterall.

You have lofty goals. Excellent.
Take Programming (always useful) and Web Development (hey, you'll need it).
You will need to know how to write SQL and basics of databases, so a DB administrator course is a maybe. IT Generalist, I have no idea what that means; could be either something extremely useful or utterly boring. Systems and Security could be useful to understand basic crypto-related things for later. I do not know if that is covered in that course, though; you can fit nearly anything in a course like that. Data analytics maybe, you should know what 99%ile latency is and how it affects the user experience. BI analytics does not seem related to your interests, and neither does CE Technician.
You should also learn networking stuff so you can understand what things you have to worry about. For VR, none of these courses look helpful, except maybe Programming. Get a VR or AR headset and experiment.
You have a long road ahead of you, but every journey starts with the first step. [spoiler]Are you the guy who made that comfy Hex Maniac how to fix the Internet thread a while ago?[/spoiler] Good luck, OP.
