Hey everyone, long story short, 4 years ago I started studying CS but got really tired of it, felt like I didn't want to be in there anymore, and when I mentioned it to my parents just like a possibility (not that I immediately wanted to leave the degree), they talked me into leaving because they said I'd just hate it more as time went on (I did listen to them, but again, it was my fault for doing it at the end of the day).I started studying business administration, and even though it is far easier and I'm not as stressed, my mind is constantly reminding me that I'm surrounded by frat boys who are total retards and that I'm not getting a job as easily as I would have in CS, my future is not looking as bright, and I'm aware of it.The thing is that I like to program, and I do it in my free time. I've even worked for a few small businesses as a freelancer, helping them build programs to automatize their tasks, building dashboards, doing data cleaning, and a bunch of other things, but again, no STEM degree.I thought about trying to get back in the field by doing a master's degree in Data Science but I'm afraid that I will not get accepted anywhere because I don't have a STEM degree. What can I do?

>>34035466>getting a job as easily as I would have in CSFor at least 25 years every single college student in the world went into CS, and long before the current "We'll all be replaced by AI" panic, the field was over-saturated and jobs were scarce. Meanwhile there are lots of jobs in fields where the fact of a degree in ANYTHING (which shows some discipline and ambition) matters more than what it was a degree in. You need no particular major for banking, stock market, real estate, sales (retail or b2b), management, HR, civil service, etc etc
>>34037092I'd love to. At the end of the day I'll just die when my time comes and everything that I've done will become irrelevant now that the only person who ever cared about those was me, but until then I'm afraid I'll have fear
>>34035466You wouldn't have gotten a job in CS anon, the field is completely fucked now.

>>34038166All my friends who studied CS got a job right after though, so I probably would've
