Masters or Second Bachelors Degree..or neither
- by drD
I have a degree in Business Administration, because at the time I didn't know what I wanted to do. I have been interested in programming for the past 2 years and have taken some action to self-teach. My experience/ knowledge base is limited to the following:
-Read Kochan's Programming in C
-Read IOS and Objective-C from the Big Nerd Ranch series
-Obtained a C++ at NYU - thought it would be a good way to start to get a grasp on OO & design
I would like to continue developing my skills, but most of all, re-orient how I am perceived as a professional. I am fully aware of how much a novice to this subject and would greatly appreciate any guidance anyone could give me.
I currently have a job so full-time is not an option
My goal is to become a software/ applications developer
My questions are:
-Should i take up a second bachelors in computer science? or a masters? or continue taking professional certificate programs (how are these viewed?)
-If masters in computer science, would that make sense, if I dont have the formal foundation? (being a chief without ever being an Indian)
-General advice for a novice to develop skill
Thank You in advanced for helping me out.
