Continuing Education

I read a post a lot of replies to a Reddit group on computer science graduates. Met a dude there who is an old timer, looking to switch careers into computer science. He said that he is taking an online program at OSU. That is, the Oregon State University. They have a program especially for people who already have a degree in another major.

I checked out the degree. Looks interesting. They have different paces for you to complete the courses. Total cost is $29k. That might seem high at first. But if you think about it being spread over 5 years, that is under $6k per year, or $3k per semester. Still costly but doable. Who knows? I might even be interested.

Back in college, I choose engineering. I really should have done Computer Science. By the time I figured that out, I was pretty far along in the engineering route. Would have seriously extended my graduation date if I switched over to Comp Sci during my junior year. Hindsight is 20/20. However this might be an opportunity to do it all over.
