I want to truly understand the deepest math and coding and then I'm going to start smoking DMT and microdosing LSD and mushrooms and communicating with interdimensional clock elves and alien entities to unlock the deepest artificial intelligence secrets. It may require human sacrifices but it'll be worth it once I create an artificial intelligence program that can create any program thereby eliminating the need for any human programming and developing. Once effectively nuking hundreds of thousands of CS and web development jobs and Google and Amazon and Apple and all of big tech and becoming a potential multi-trillionaire overnight, and after innoculating myself with a dozen layers of impenetrable private armed security, I'll start to manipulate the world landscape and try and return the internet to its earlier wild west open and free days, and return things in general to Christian traditional Western values. All the while holding the world's economy hostage. Easy-peasy, lemon squeezy

I've been looking at Western Governor's University for the last year or so, just haven't pulled the trigger. They start monthly, so I don't have to wait on traditional semesters and they have a go at your own pace curriculum.

I spent my entire 20's on a work, sleep, work, sleep, work, sleep, work, sleep life style. I had to leave the Army after a decade of it because of burnout. The only thing keeping my from signing up for school at WGU is asking myself if I'm willing to do that again for a couple more years in my late 30's. I'm probably gonna do it soon, just amping myself up for it and need to finally pull the trigger.



Programming/coding. Gonna do this Bachelor's degree when I finally pull the trigger and start. https://www.wgu.edu/online-it-degrees/software-development-bachelors-program.html

I already have an Associate's Degree in Cisco Networking Technology from one of the local community colleges, but I have zero interest in pursuing it as a career and I also don't have any of the Cisco certs, which oddly in the industry carry more weight than a fucking degree lol

Sounds good man, I had a mate leave oz and work in IT in the bay I can ask him for some tips on how to find work if you like?

need those cisco certs lol it's the same here, they hold a shit load of weight

My brother from another mother keeps telling me that the degree is important of course, but you could also basically self-teach yourself coding, do a coding bootcamp, and get yourself into the door that way. You'll have to be very good at it and really stick out as either being very good and efficient or very creative and innovative or both; and it'll be expected that you finish that degree eventually, but he's said a few times and his older brother has said the same thing a few times that it's pretty doable. He's actually led teams of newbie developers that have gone that path. Granted, most of them get cut after a couple months, but some gain full time jobs, and even those that get cut gain experience that gets them hired elsewhere. I'd rather get the degree and get real world experience near the end of it because I like to learn slower and learn thoroughly and completely, and the degree still has a lot of weight. Especially from a place like MIT or Stanford. A degree from a place like that will get your foot in anywhere with no experience. I'm pretty certain that I'm going to try and get the BSCSSE from UW Bothell and near completion of it do a coding bootcamp. But I'm still not fully decided on UW Bothell... I might get a wild hair up my ass and decide to try for scholarships and grants and go for a prestigious out of state college lol...

Several options out there for CS.

A lot of coders are self taught, computer science degree might be a good option because everything branches off from that

you can start the basics here

I have a shitload of books in pdf form if anyone needs

yeah i know. my brother from another is a senior software developer and his brother is a senior network engineer / senior software developer. you can get your foot in the door but if you're going to want to advance and get promotions you'll need the degrees and certifications.

Why not get the certifications done? How long would it take? That might open up a lot more job options close to you and make getting the Bachelor's a lot easier if you're making better money and have more time. You don't have to do it as a career but what if you were able to get an easy networking related job with a lot of downtime? Could get a lot more done per pay period at WGU

I have zero interest in getting the certs or working a Networking job. The certs cost hundreds of dollars and it's been so long since I've been out of the Cisco line of work I'd have to re-study all of that shit. Way too much time and money wasted on something I don't want anything to do with.

Coding bootcamps cost so much more money than WGU. WGU costs $3200 per 6 months and they let you complete as much as you want in those 6 months, people there are powering through bachelor's degrees in 1 year. They'll take my credits from my Associate's so I'm already half way done, so I know I can definitely power through in a year already being half way there. I can basically finish a bachelor's for $6400, plus a bunch of CompTIA and other certs come with the degree. Coding bootcamps cost like $10000+ and will take almost as long. I feel like I'll get way more out of WGU than a coding bootcamp.
