How best can I spend a gap semester/year in pursuit of a CS career?

I completed my 1st year at a competitive engineering university where all 1st year students take basic engineering classes and then apply for a specific engineering degree path. I applied for a CS path, but was given EE and ME options (as the CS path is, by far, the most competitive path). My passion is in CS and, unfortunately, the decision comes out after viable transfer deadlines for other universities had passed. If I wish to seek a CS degree, the only option I have at my current school is to take a semester of "core" classes (unrelated to engineering and/or CS) and reapply with a likely low chance of success in being offered a CS path. Rather than waste a semester, I am now considering taking a gap semester/year and then applying to enter a CS degree path at a new university. How best can I use this time to add real world experience and build out my experience in software development (I have been coding for years at this point). Open source coding projects? Finding an in-school-year internship (if such exist)? And, does this "non-linear" path hurt my chance of success in the job market after college?

What would be the best way to get a head start in computer programming?

I would like to know some good internships, resources, or ways to gain more experience in programming. I am currently a high school student, so I do have lots of time but I would like to get a head start. I was going to learn from resources online and I found this free online course but I never finished it and still have no experience. I would appreciate any suggestions and tips on how to get started.

There are 5 tracks in Merit Amrica, but I am not sure which one to choose. IT support, UX design, data analytics, Java development, and cyber security. I want to choose the one that has the best opportunities in the future and what each one does. Could you help me with that?

Hey, After I graduate from highschool I plan on applying for Merit America to get tech training and experience. I cannot afford to go to college. I do not think it is worth it. All I need is a high school degree. There are 5 tracks, but I am not sure which one to choose. IT support, UX design, data analytics, Java development, and cyber security. I want to choose the one that has the best opportunities in the future. Could you help me with that? Thanks

How do I narrow down a major I want to enroll in based on what majors I’m interested in?

I want to enroll in anything related to computer science/programming, graphic design, or psychology. I’m currently a 9th grader and I used to have a programming class which I enjoyed and excelled in. I’ve also had an interest in designing, specifically graphic design, for very long. Recently I’ve been growing a liking for psychology and anything related to it, as I’m fascinated by it. I don’t know how to choose between these 3 specific fields and need help on deciding one for college.

What are some factors I need to consider if I am a returning student interested in pursuing computer science degree?

I am an adult student, after years of being away from education I'd like to return and continue my education. I am also a first gen student. So, I am technically struggling to carve my path. I am interested in computer science. I am torn between online and on-campus education. I feel like online degrees will be more suitable for me. However, I am also looking for ways to not have a complete isolated learning experience or opportunities. What would be your best advice for this? Where can I start to understand the field? What are some factors I should look for in terms of quality of education in CS field? And any other comments or feedback are deeply appreciated.

As a high-school senior, how should I go about learning different specializations in Computer Science?

I'm someone who is currently a senior in high school. I spent time learning about programming (writing code using Python and Java) and web development (HTML, CSS) for four years. I love spending time with those topics, but I recently explored topics like machine learning and computer systems engineering. I'm planning to study Computer Science at a four-year university, and I wonder what's the best way to explore specializations in computer science?

What are some potential career paths or industries that align with my interests in gaming and coding . I'm passionate about both and would love to explore opportunities where I can combine my skills and hobbies into a fulfilling career?

I've been gaming and coding for several years now, and I've developed a strong proficiency in both areas. I particularly enjoy game development and have created several small projects on my own, ranging from simple mobile games to more complex simulations. Additionally, I've been actively involved in coding clubs and workshops at my school, where I've honed my programming skills and collaborated with peers on various projects. Now that I'm thinking about my future career, I'm excited to explore how I can turn my passion for gaming and coding into a rewarding profession."
