I want a tech job

RomanGladiator · March 11, 2015, 06:50:50 PM

Something that involves programming, networking, debugging, coding, etc...but I have a shitty liberal arts degree. And I can't go to college all over again to get another undergrad degree because that just ins't feasible. What do?

Get an apprenticeship? Start a tech course?

I dunno.

buy a few books on something easy like python, try to teach yourself, probably find out that it isn't for you, but on the off chance that it is, start building a portfolio with projects that you've worked on, keep track of it all on github, and practice practice practice

you probably won't get anywhere without a degree, but it's something.

Which liberal arts degree did you get?

I probably think that I don't know how much hard work and studying it actually involves.

What were the four phases of the French revolution?

I don't even know. It's not like a took a course of everything. I said it on here before, I just chose history because I thought it would be easy, and I'd be capable of doing it. I doubted my intelligence.

>STEM major trying to prove he's smarter than me I get it, you are. And I don't even give a shit about my major, it was just to get any job after college, and that hasn't worked out.

Well, if you picked a subject to study solely because it was easy and because you didn't want to work, then you only have yourself to blame for your current situation...
