Current Events > lotta people in my life trying to go back to school for comp sci lmao

(+) Yeah! (+)

they all in that "my degree was useless so im going back to school for comp sci even though the last time i even did basic algebra was over a decade ago" phase

out of 7 people who've talked to me about it i'm guessing maybe 1 will see it through

I mean...a CS career doesn't necessarily have to involve programming and math. I'm 10 years into my IT career and the infrastructure side of things doesn't require math at all. You just have to get through the college requirement of it.

Yeah I said that in my last sentence in that post. The degree does but you can bs through that. The career doesn't require math.

I have no knowledge of bootcamps either.

I did. My college only required Calc 1 and Applied Calc for my CS degree.
Tbf, this was 11 years ago so not sure the requirements now.

Eh. My college wasn't really CS heavy. There were only 2 CS teachers for God's sake.
I only cared about getting the degree so I could get my foot in the door somewhere so it did the job it needed to do.
Imo, CS career is a very on the job type of experience anyway. You can't learn most of it in the classroom.
