Ok Auburn, thank you for your quick reply. Now to reply/ask some questions. To answer (a) it seems to me in my job hunt, I may be able to get a phone interview for a developer job, but whether I have the actual programming knowledge to comfortably perform the job let alone get the job, remains to be seen.

To reply to (b) The B.A. simply requires I take Discrete Math, above and beyond the calculus I already have for my business degree. I do realize that the theoretical classes I must take for CS like Automata and organization of programming languages, etc…, will require math I am uncertain as to whether I have done that sort of math or how hard it is to learn that type of math.

The reply to (c) is in short I have good enough grades to get in to a grad CS program but I would need to take at least 4-6 undergrad CS classes before I could start actual grad school. So essentially I could get in to a program provisionally. I am not sure if grad school is for me though.

P.S. This is BHolc86, for some reason I wasn’t able to login with this account before, but in another browser it auto-logged me in.
