<p>I have a bachelors in business admin and am considering returning back to school and getting a second bachelors degree in computer science. I am worried about finances and improving my resume. Attending class full time and studying seems like it would be almost impossible to find a decent paying professional job that works given my school schedule. </p>
<p>Any tips or advice? Any resources available? Anyone have experience on finding and working a ~$45,000/yr+ job while in undergrad?</p>
<p>You are talking about going to school full time or part time? What kind of work experience and salary history do you have? Is the salary you suggest a big leap or a step down?</p>
<p>^^ full time 15 hours. The salary is about what I make now but I’d consider myself underemployed. I’ve been holding off bc I wanted to return to school.</p>
<p>I can’t really tell what you are talking about you make that salary but you are unemployed. Why would you give up your job just to look for a job? Won’t your current job work taking 2 classes at once or letting your work flex hours or reduced hours? To change hours? Look for some jobs that require weekend work.</p>
<p>I don’t see how you can both go to school and work full time. How would that schedule work with getting classes. Or do you know a college where a full compliment of CS courses are offered at night? When would you do your studying and assignments? Good luck with figuring it out, I guess I don’t have suggestions.</p>
<p>Not UNemployeed, UNDERemployeed. I am overqualified for the position I have now. </p>
<p>The reason I want to be a full time student is bc I want to earn the degree as fast as I can. I’d take night classes but there is not a good college around here that offers any or even any. I’m moving because I am underemployed and want to find a better job on a larger city (which is where I would attend). </p>
<p>I worked full time during my first degree, although it was small entry level jobs and bartending or waiting tables. </p>
<p>Ideally I would like to take 15 hours of morning classes and work in the evening. Maybe at a job with downtown to study maybe even working for the university itself.</p>
<p>Attending full time also allows for more financial aid and scholarship money, as well as deferment of my current student loans.</p>
<p>I didn’t think financial aid and scholarships are available for 2nd undergraduate degree?</p>
<p>I think than the only option you sholul consider is to find a part-time job.
Computer Science is not some humanitarian field that you can learn the night before the exam.</p>
