I'm a self-taught Front End & JS Dev and professional learner with accessibility expertise. I'm passionate about breaking down concepts into relatable concepts, making it more approachable.
I feel like Computer Science (and by feel like, I mean as someone who DID NOT study it) gets into a lot of theoretical concepts (correct this if I am wrong 🙃). Do you have a clear idea of what direction you'd like to go career wise?
Honestly, I didn't expect the theoretical load that an undergrad computer science course would have; there have always been people who can grasp that stuff better than I can, and a lot of the time I'm more down with actually doing something than thinking about the theory (which bites me from time to time). I'm juggling three general directions; I either want to be a CS professor, do good fulfilling work with NGOs, or something startup-y and entrepreneurial. Hopefully there's some way to blend all those things?

My guess is you'll probably dip your toes in each of them and maybe find one that suits you better than you thought!
Like if you would have asked me if I would be a web dev when I graduated college, I would have laughed in your face hahah!
