Hey CC! So I just got out high school, and i have an Associates Degree in Computer Science through dual enrollment.
I’m trying to figure out how to try to start my career in CS, and I feel really clueless about it all because I (and most around me) come from an arts background. I’m confused about at my level what types/levels and where I should be looking for jobs, what plan I should take. In class I did learn everything really well, was able to understand and apply all my concepts. I don’t program in my spare time though, so maybe I should start doing that.
*MAIN QUESTION → * But I just don’t understand how to apply this knowledge to jobs, I feel like that’s something I have to grow outside of the classroom but I’m not sure of how or where to start. If that makes sense?
My plan was to make a small project (just like web app game or something) and then make my resume (which would have nothing basically except my degree and some non-CS stuff) , refresh my data structures and algorithms knowledge, and then just blindly apply to whatever jobs I see. If an interview comes up, make a fool of myself and then learn from it.
Also is the AA degree title useful at all? I doubt it.
Any pointers of guidance? literally any input would be appreciated haha, thank you!
