I currently have a BS degree in Industrial Engineering. Ive been working as a designer for the past 8 years designing machinery. Ive always been a "computer geek" and enjoy writing programs for the engineering department whenever i have the opportunity. Im at a point in my life where im looking for change, something different. I am no longer happy with my work. Its hard to change careers when I dont have any experience in the IT field. I did take a C++ class at a local university, made the highest grade in the class. I also checked how long it would take me to get another degree, which would around 3 years given the course schedule.
Is it worth going back to school to get a BS in Computer Science? Are
there any certifications that I can take instead?
Just looking for some comments/suggestions/tips.
Thanks
