I graduated with a BA in psychology last year but I'm looking

You can't jump directly to a grad CS degree unless your bachelors was in math or such

It would probably take me about a year to work up to the 300 level courses, right?

>>7719241
You can, there are many programs out there that let you in if you either have the mathematical aptitude, or are fine taking the prereqs to gtake the masters. In most situations I would just retake the BS in CS, although masters are more impressive

No unless your undergrad CS program is vocational school in Java programming

Many schools will allow it as long as you have any BSc. I've seen two economics majors begin a MSc in computer science. They both failed miserably, as one might expect, but the attempt was permitted.

Typically you'd spend your first year doing catch-up undergrad courses. But a BA in psych isn't going to get you near the level you'd need for this. The fact is that computer science involves putting in a lot of time just practicing your skills, implementing all the theoretical stuff you've learned to get an intuitive understanding... probably more so than with any other science program.

Is it really that bad? I've been reading stories online about people who came from the performing arts, English, other lib arts, and all of them surviving

many people drop out of stem altogether

if you're doing it just for the pay, don't bother. you wont learn anything

There has to be a lot of open programs that allows you to join no matter what background, as long as you've a bachelor.

50% is for the money. I'll never make any with a psych degree. 50% is because it seems interesting on paper

Jeb Bush was right. This is what you get for studying something "you like because it is fun". Go become a psychologist. Do you even remember most of undergrad? If you were truly passionate about it you would not have mind the pay.

But Jeb Bush did Latin American Studies or some shit, not STEM.

Somewhere between 1/3 and 2/3 of your test results can't be reproduced. Your entire field is a sham.

Teach yourself how to code and slap that onto your resume

I'm passionate about masturbation but I'm not going to make a career out of it.

I didn't receive any guidance my entire education and just picked something that seemed interesting and didn't require a lot of prereqs. I work with a mental health organization right now.
