/prog/ - My Biology BA is toilet paper

Six months and not a single bite in the job market.

Should I try to get into programming so I can maybe land a job outside of McDonald's?

I've always like using computers to fap to touhous so I figure I'd be good at it.

You could always go back and go for an arts degree (in case you run out of toilet paper).

I couldn't afford to do that even if I wanted to. Toilet paper is expensive these days.

Worked as an ``analyst'' at a shitty tech company that thinks that training its own programmers is better than hiring computer science grads, did all the actual learning on my own and left when I had been there long enough to be able to put two years of programming experience on my resume. So there was luck involved, but there always is. You do need to enjoy it though, otherwise its not worth it.
After working with people who do have CS degrees, I know from experience that that doesn't guarantee that are going to be a great or even decent programmer anyway.

CS isn't programming and programming isn't CS. They are related but distinct subjects.

Yeah, CS is for people who enjoy having money and a good job.

No, that would apply to engineering and medicine.

CS is abstract bullshite. Informatic Engineering's where it's at.

Programming is a subset of CS

I guess you could say that but it's not great to assume that a learned CS graduate is also a programmer that designs and writes software to a certain standard within a given timeframe. CS is abstract and is all about the study of information. Programming is the craft of writing software that performs a task.

OP what is your GPA like? You could try to get into PA school or something, but it will take some effort on your part.
