The short answer is both. Some directors want the college degree, others are just as happy to hire someone with a CDA. I don't know what size area/ # of centers are in your area, but if a CDA works best for you right now, I doubt it would be an impediment to getting hired. Your qualifications will get you the interview, YOU will get you the job once you have an interview. Getting a CDA now and going to school (online or traditional) for a degree can cover your bases for your career going forward.

Good Luck
