Healthcare Pivoting Into Tech?

Hey all, just got into the MAS-CS Online program for Spring 2027 and I'm excited but also freaking out a little.

Background: I'm a licensed physical therapist with zero formal CS background. I've always wanted to pivot into tech and the healthcare + CS combo feels like a strong story on paper... but with the current job market, I'm worried the degree alone won't be enough.

For those who've been through the program or are currently in it:

- How hard was it to land a role post-grad as a career switcher?

- Did your pre-program background (clinical/non-tech) help or hurt?

- Any regrets or things you'd do differently if you were starting now?

Appreciate any honest takes 🙏
