@machtyn What do you have now?

2018-09-27 23:12:26 UTC  

A BS in Computer Information Systems. It was Computer Science but they turned it into an IT type degree with more operations mindset and I deeply regret it 😦

2018-09-27 23:13:09 UTC  

I'd take a few math classes I am missing and get a BS in CS followed by an MS in CS.

2018-09-27 23:13:22 UTC  

It would take 4-5 years, as I'd be working full time and cash flowing it.

2018-09-27 23:13:29 UTC  

If, I go that route.

2018-09-27 23:14:02 UTC  

I just feel like I wouldn't be taken seriously unless I get a BS/MS at senior levels.

2018-09-27 23:38:40 UTC  

Don't IT professionals have a service record or something that is valued more than a degree?

2018-09-27 23:41:12 UTC  

Well, I am switching from "IT" to "development/engineering" so no certificates matter. Only actual skills and MAYBE degrees... which is why I am on the fence.

2018-09-27 23:41:32 UTC  

Tons of amazing devs/architects don't have a degree and make 300k+

2018-09-27 23:41:46 UTC  

I mean, you won't know what's valued till you sit for some interviews.

2018-09-27 23:41:50 UTC  

Yeah

2018-09-27 23:42:20 UTC  

I have and a BS in CS is pretty required but I do have 5 years exp so it is fairly easy for me to transition if I built out some open source projects

2018-09-27 23:42:56 UTC  

I've sat for so many interviews that require more experience than I have.

2018-09-27 23:45:02 UTC  

That in itself is good experience and you'll find out what they're looking for.

2018-09-27 23:45:31 UTC  

True. I'll just interview a bunch and base my decision of that... good idea!

2018-09-27 23:45:53 UTC  

I like investing in myself so 30k for excellent education is worth it to me, honestly.

2018-09-27 23:49:19 UTC  

Go for interviews first, aye.

2018-09-27 23:49:25 UTC  

My recommendation.

2018-09-27 23:49:40 UTC  

You do you, though.

2018-09-27 23:52:38 UTC  

Yeah, I will!

2018-09-28 01:18:16 UTC  

DocVader on Women in Medicine on YouTube. Check it out.

2018-09-28 01:18:23 UTC  

I really wish we could post links.

2018-09-28 02:07:58 UTC  

Literally just sent an email and got called in for an interview this afternoon.

2018-09-28 02:11:27 UTC  

Nice 👍

2018-09-28 02:15:53 UTC

2018-09-28 03:46:05 UTC  

sperg = asperger's, iirc

2018-09-28 04:37:01 UTC  

i daresay good sir that you are a tad overzealous in your opinion of your own intellect

2018-09-28 04:46:10 UTC  

Excuse me Good Sir @Happy Humble Hermit , I think you are confusing intellect with a mentally ill person whose soul purpose is to dwell on absurdity.
