<p>Thanks ucbalumnus,</p>
<p>I already plan on spending 3-4 years going back to school. My plan A right now - partly because of the advice Jnelsonmarka gave me above - is to go back to UCSD to finish my Lit degree because I’m literally only missing my foreign language requirement. Whichever language I pick will require at least a year since I would need to take the intro language course all the way up to a literature course in that language. </p>
<p>In that time, I want to try and work on a minor for Computer Science. After that, I plan on looking at a CSU for a MA in CS. </p>
<p>My plan B is to switch completely to CS when I go back to UCSD, but after talking to my counselors I doubt they will let me (considering I’m one requirement away from my Lit degree). Because of that I plan on applying to CSULA and Cal Poly SLO as well, just in case I change my mind and just want the CS BA. I don’t want to directly try for the CSULA CS BA and forgo UCSD because after talking to my friends who have graduated and becoming engineers - I do think that UCSD can still give me an advantage when job hunting.</p>
<p>Either way, I want to start towards a career in CS rather than finish a Lit degree with options that I am no longer interested in pursuing. Thanks for your help!</p>
