<p>I will soon be a 4th year student in chemical engineering at one of the most reputable universities in Canada, but I really hate my program. I already tried to transfer to another program before, but didn't turn out well, so I am now close to graduating in this program. I don't have problem getting a related job here (I'm an international student btw), but I really don't want to work in this field. I'm actually really into technology, gadgets, etc, but I'm not sure how I can work in that field. Maybe I need to get a master's degree related to computer, but not sure if that's the best way to do it. And I'm not even sure what relatively reputable universities in the states offer computer science or related programs (that can lead me to work in a big technology company) that doesn't require a previous computer related bachelor's degree. </p>
<p>Any advise on my situation would be REALLY appreciated!</p>
<p>There are a number of Masters programs which take students from other STEM fields. If they don’t have a lot of experience in programming, they will have to take a CS boot camp though. If you go this route, expect to self-fund your studies for a Masters and if you are interested in a Ph.D., you might have to switch schools after the M.S.</p>
<p>Instead of going to a graduate program, why don’t you see if you can take your remaining time in school to learn a programming language? Maybe join an app development club or something similar. Then see if you can enter the technology industry straight from undergrad. You might be able to get a job that combines your chemE experience with technology and then move laterally over time. You don’t always need to get a degree to change careers.</p>
