My official degree is: Bachelor of Arts, with a Major in Commerce and a minor in Canadian Studies.
Within "commerce" I studied a variety of business and organizational structure disciplines, with a focus on marketing.
Liberal Arts Yo! (associates degree...)
I never actually finished my bachelor's, but I studied Film and Video. I've thought about going back to finish as a CS major if I can ever convince a company i work for to pay for it 😝.
I studied some film and video in college. Did you try to get into that industry before getting into coding?
I started to lose my passion for the medium the more I studied. Once I realized what working in that industry was actually gonna look like (90hr weeks, no time for family, etc.) I was completely off the idea.
I have a BA in Sociology 🙂
Any parts of a sociology degree help you in software development today?
Maybe the research I had to do during uni 🤔. It has helped me in self-learning a lot. I do a lot of research to find the best resources to build my own curriculum.🙂
I was a registered dental assistant. I am not working on my associates degree in programming.
I didn't finish my degree, but it was Media Communications with an emphasis on Audio Production. If I were to go back, I think I would try to finish that degree.
BSc in Biology, Minor in Chemistry 😄
E N G L I S H 💁🏽♀️
English seems to have really set you apart in your particular career. Learning necessary CS as you go or as a component of getting into tech deliberately seems pretty standard, but few folks would find the justification to deliberately study english any time after school.
So seems like doing things in that order is a pretty decent recipe for success.
BSc in International Business Administration and a MSc in Marketing Management 😅
Whatever one has studied, the universal language is coding. Arts can get into front development. Commerce guys can code business logic.
I studied Aerospace Engineering.
I have a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design.
I mostly use my degree to make memes at this point.
BS in Electrical Engineering and an MBA. I graduated high school in 1980. I think if I had graduated 5 or 6 years later I would have studied CS. Computer Science before 1980 meant you would probably be sitting in an air-conditioned environmentally controlled room with a bunch of mainframes doing who knows what.
BS in UX/UI Design which isn't too far off from what I do right now since it's the same industry, just different work. Wouldn't trade it for a CS degree because it's given me so much knowledge and experience about great user experiences.
Oddly relevant things!
BA - Management & Theater (double major)
MA - Theatre
PhD - Fine Arts
