I’m anticipating to graduate with my CS degree next spring and decided I want to make a full pivot into IE.

I’m planning to go for a MSIE, but how else can I get my foot in the door?

What IE roles should I apply to? Which would be more likely to hire a CS grad? What else can I do to make myself look like i’m passionate and fully committed to pursuing IE?

Almost everyday i see a post here about someone wanting to switch to IE.

If I am looking to pivot to industrial engineering from a non engineering bachelors (CS).

Should I go for a second bachelors or masters, especially if I have no IE relevant work experience?

im also worried that masters are not ABET accredited so it may give me trouble looking for a job?

Do you wish you had done something else?

Are you happy?

I’m wondering how do child support works if you are in a professional graduate school such as med or dental?

since you know, you obviously can’t work during that time.

do they just impute min wage?

I’m a non traditional looking to pivot into dentistry.

I had some questions.

1. does volunteering count as EC or is that separate?

2. how much volunteering hours to aim for?

3. if i get a dental related paid job, does it count as EC or shadowing?

4. does anyone know a good postbacc programs in or around Minnesota to get my prereqs done?

5. can i do an online postbacc or online courses for my prereqs?

I would need calc 1-4.

Is it worth taking, or should I just do them at a CC and transfer em in?

How is this program? Is it difficult? Any do’s or don’t’s?

What classes are not online?

Are all the classes usually offered every semester?

Would it be doable working full time ?

For some context i’m 23M a 3rd year CS student, and i’m looking to pivot because of how abysmal the job market for it is, and I lowkey hate coding now.

Im also a father to a 3 year old daughter which I need to support.

I’m considering graduate school in either dentistry, accounting, or industrial engineering (maybe even switching majors for the latter two).

Since I was young I always had an interest in medicine, but the long road which included residency where you work 80 hr/week for peanuts discouraged me.

After unexpectedly having my daughter, I ran to the highest paying degree at the time, that was computer science (huge mistake).

I am now looking into dentistry since it’s not as gruelling as becoming a doctor, as well as:

1. It’s lucrative and can make you rich once you own many practices.
2. Very stable, and future proof (especially in the age of A.I)
3. Good WLB
4. I have an interest in diagnosing and treating oral pathologies, especially after going through many dental procedures my self.
5. Seems fun and fulfilling, everyday is different.
6. Can make you a businessman
7. Freedom the work ANYWHERE

I also understand there are downsides to it such as the amount of debt, and also with me having a kid, it definitely makes it much harder (and more expensive) than the average person.

Would loans even cover living expenses, childcare, child support, etc?

Is this even a realistic scenario for me? Anybody here with a kid make it work?

And is the career really as good I believe it is?

As for prereqs I only have done chem 1 and physics 1, so I have quite a bit left to do which alone could take a year I think.

I also have 0 shadowing, EC or volunteering hours.

Last year i was able to snag a pair during release. I got a size men’s 9 because that’s my usual size only to find out they fit small and u need to upsize.

I still haven’t worn them outside, and kept the tags/receipt/bag.

Any idea how much i can sell them for?

I want to see if i can buy a size 10 somewhere, or trade it somehow.

is it worth it for me to try and become a dentist?

Complex as in so unusual and not something you see often, or even learned about at all.

What do you do in these situations?

Which career would be more worth it?

To expand.

I’d like something stable, future proof, with good pay/career growth, ability to work anywhere, good WLB, and obviously meaningful/atleast some what exciting work.

I’m considering graduate school in either dentistry, accounting, or industrial engineering.

Since I was young I always had an interest in medicine, but as I grew older I realized the amount of work and time required is just not worth it.

1. It’s lucrative, 2. Can make you a businessman, 3. Seems fun, 4. I’m interested in pathologies of the mouth, especially after having gone through many dental procedures myself, 5. Seems fulfilling enough. 6. Ability to work ANYWHERE 7. Extremely future-proof

I also understand there are downsides to it such as the amount of debt, and also with me having a kid, it definitely makes it much more difficult as I won’t be able to work and provide, pay enough child support, etc.

Isn’t even a realistic scenario for me?

And is the career really as good I believe it is?

Currently I have 2/10 Prereqs down, so I’d need to do that

I have the chance to pursue either in graduate school.

I’d be non traditional for both.

Accounting seems great except for the A.I issues, outsourcing, and WLB.

Dentistry is better in all of those aspects with the its own issue of barrier to entry (although I heard the DAT is easier than the CPA exam), and insane debt, and longer amount of time in school
