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

What careers are the least recommended?
I ask this because sometimes I already have a career that I want to study and sometimes I no longer want that career and I try to look for other options that are good, so I want you to tell me which careers are not recommended so that I don't focus on that career and look for another.

Just curious about the Ai Chip startups! ?
Hello everyone, I am an incoming student at a university where I will study electrical engineering. Basically, I have been very tempted by the Ai Chip startups for the past 2-3 months. I would like to know how those who start ai chip, processor, and hardware startups, or semiconductor startups, get started at such a young age. SambaNova was founded in 2017, Cerebras was founded in 2015, and Alphabet Inc. was founded in 2015, despite its affiliation with Google! But I really want to prepare for this from the beginning! But how should I start?
