Hey coding forum peeps,

I'm currently finishing up a Master's Degree in Jazz music...and of course, there are no such things as jobs for jazz musicians. I'm contemplating becoming a computer programmer.

Would I be able to get a job as a programmer with an Associate of Applied Science in Computer Science? The difference between the AAS and the regular Associate's is that it doesn't include any gen. ed. courses.

Most places I have looked say that a BS in Computer Science is required to get a job programming, but I'm thinking since I already have two degrees, maybe just 2 years of computer science and an internship will be enough...? What do you think?

Thanks!
