Engineering options?
Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2012 8:47 am
I took engineering and comp sci classes in undergrad, enjoyed them and did well. I ended up switching to government/poli sci with the aim of going to law school. I'm now a rising 3L.
I really want to go complete a degree in computer science. I have the basic requirements squared away (physics, calc, java, etc) with only the technical upper level classes remaining. I don't mean to make it seem so simple- I realize that adds up to roughly 2 years worth of credits.
I don't have a specific aim (i.e. patent law)
. I just feel like a have unfinished business, and really enjoyed and excelled at computer science. I still have fond memories of my first comp sci class in high school
So my question is, how is the best way to do this? My main concern is cost.
Upon graduation, I assume I will be working with the federal government in financial sector regulation or, at least some other role in the federal government, as all my experience up to this point is public service related (plus some banking work prior to law school). Perhaps certain agencies will cover the education expense of a second bachelor's degree. Does anyone have experience with this?
