i fucked up.
im a semester away from getting a degree in engineering management with an emphasis in industrial engineering
ive now worked two internships and hated both of them. i dont have the management personality, and people dont take me seriously with my degree, despite the fact that ill be graduating with an FE. i told my internship employer that i was interested in working in one of their engineering departments post graduation and got turned down for not being a "real" engineer. i fucking hate this degree and want out, and i want to work remotely on my computer.
realistically, what are my options with a timeframe of 2 years post graduation before getting a "real" job?
im learning c++ in my free time but currently dont have any projects. im worried that if i full dive into this and have a decent portfolio, employers still wont take me seriously because i didnt major in a computer related field.
im also worried that i wont have enough time to build a portfolio within my timeframe.
are there any certifications that have enough pull to completely change a career path? i was considering an aws developer certification but the more research im doing the more people i see saying you still need a cs degree if you want a job.
i also considered doing a cs masters but no college i have the option of going to allows it without a cs bachelors.
what do i do before just an heroing?
