Peter is a local diploma holder.
So who will get better pay or just based on experience wise ?
Another factor you forgot - next time should you have the money to further your studies - MDIS won't be recognised by reputable universities and you are stuck. Better to go local.
I know because I went to do Informatics NCC Diploma for fun while I was working. Those who did it to further their careers - found themselves competing against Local Poly People. Lucky thing - I already have a recognised degree . Australia won't even give consideration to NCC diploma if you try and apply on campus.
