Hello,

I majored in social sciences but i have been working as a frontend web/mobile dev for several years.

Lately I have been thinking about learning CS properly but I am unsure about the path.

First my goal is to actually gain knowledge. Secondly, prefferably I would like to work in US in the future (I know the job market is bad right now but still).

The problem that I am facing is the following. In any case Id have to take out a loan. Redoing bachlors in the US means i wont be able to work anymore and it would be more costly.

Doing the MSCS bridge programs would cost less BUT I am not sure about the job opportunities after. I found MSCS bridge program at USFCA, would programs like these be a waste of money?

Am I wrong about bridge programs? What would be the most reasonable decision. The issue with regular MSCS programs is that i need credits for some CS classes which i havent taken bc i majored in social sciences. Do you think I should redo bachelors in CS in my country and apply for MSCS once i complete the prerequsite classes? (This would take a 1-2 years)

Also what is your opinion on doing online bachelors in CS, not necessarily an american university. Would it be realistic to pursue MSCS in the US after online bachelors degree? (In the meantime i could gain more work experience in my country as well)

I would like to hear your experiences if you have been in a similar situation or what do CS graduates think of this.

Thank you

I was seeing this guy for several months and I really liked him. He was the one who initiated the first kiss, holding hands, etc (no sex tho). He was very sweet. Giving me soft kisses and hugs, nothing extra. Literally lasted a week and he told me he cant commit to a relationship because he is leaving the country soon and he doesn't want to do a long distance as he had a really bad experience of it from his last relationship. We met on the day he made this decision and he didn't initiate any physical contact. We talked a bit about the situation and I told him right away that i was not planning on changing his mind but we kind of discussed our perspectives and how i saw this relationship working out and how he didn't. He told me he still wanted to be friends and wanted to hang out with me because he enjoyed spending time with me but i said it was a bad idea and seeing him would make it difficult to stop liking him. So basically i initiated no contact. So far he has been respecting this decision. I didn't make a scene, the last conversation was calm and chill. We wished each other well and haven't talked since. It's been a month already. I really want to stop liking him lol. That way we could really be friends because i do think he is a good person. But i also wish he came back and changed his mind. Guys if you have been in this type of situation before, have you changed your mind? How did you feel during no contact?
