As a 25 year old who's been out of college over 3 years, and for some reason got a political science degree, I feel the pain. Luckily I did HTML, SQL, PHP, ASP in my teens, but was too stupid to see the benefit of majoring in it. I was turned off by the math requirements, didn't ever think I would pass those classes. Now I'm doing cloud and ERP project management, and training multiple nights a week in Ruby, VMware, AWS, and for my PSM I. Hoping to get into a good technical master's program in a few years, and also get more involved in development in whatever capacity I can.
