Hi all, recent grad of Construction Management engineering technology degree. I’m a Assistant
project manager in high rise construction company. I have a good start to my career.
However, looking at how Construction is slowing down and a lot of more experience men are being let go. Also, my next job being delayed and I’m sitting around doing bs paperwork to keep busy. It made me rethink my future.
I want to look into Comp sci, and would ask you all if there is any pointers you can give me to put me on the right direction?
I have a engineering background with all my core general engineering courses completed. So I don’t really wanna go back to school and get another whole 4 year degree. Any recommendations on any key certifications I can get and teach myself how to code ?
I would like to aim high and get a solid paying job as I am planning to start a family In the next 2-3 years.
Any pointers or advice would be very appreciated.
Want to see the real deal?

The way I got in was by learning Java and being lucky enough to find a team that’s willing to teach.
Looking back I think it would have been easier if I would have just gone back for a BS or MS in computer science. There was way too many gate keepers that block you because you don’t have a CS degree.
They got a masters in MIS and did extra coding studies. They work at Amazon in NYC now.
Totally doable career path you just have to work harder to break in
If you use that to break into a tech co (doesn't have to be one of the FAANGs), you can use that experience to get into management etc.
Wouldn't recommend just learning to code straight up unless you really enjoy it.
Oh you could always do OMSCS for a masters for less than $10,000 which is what I’m doing
