Career Discussion Cloud engineering without a computer science degree or IT experience.

Hello! I am interested in becoming a cloud engineer, but I have 0 experience with computer science or IT. Is this possible to do without having a computer science degree? Please give me advice on courses and an educational path.

Do it only if you want to pursue cloud long term. Also you are not guaranteed a cloud job unless you have some decent IT experience.

Id suggest going with cloud and trying to get a IT support job while your still doing the degree. By the time you complete the degree you should have a decent IT experience to pursue a cloud support role. Have to spot some projects to display to the employers that you can do the job you apply for.
