I'm getting another Bachelor's degree

Basically, all BS in CS course requirements are missing.
That's why I was considering WGU's BS in CS.

1. Agree with others that what you need for getting hired are projects, not more bachelor's degrees

2. If you want to get another degree, go for GT's OMSCS directly. Another bachelor's degree does not help much

3. Calculus is not a program pre-req. Java is not required language. Proficiency in Python is good enough.

4. Basically, you need 4 courses. You had Intro to Programming from your B.S.

5. Enroll in your local community college for OOP and data Structures this coming second 8-week term. Then on January take an Analysis of Algorithms credit class from Oregon State, Florida, Colorado state or one of your local universities (estimated total cost ~$2,500). OR complete the verified certificate tracks (~$1,600) of three Georgia Tech non-credit professional certificate programs. Both options are a lot cheaper and faster than any second bachelor's degree

6. That would give you plenty of time to apply for Fall 2024 with a very good chance of admissions

My friend majored in Dance and switched careers from dancing to app programming. She got her start by programming apps on a volunteer basis for local politicians as well as dong some bootcamps, now she's a programming teacher. It sounds like she never got a job in a traditional coding role like as in office work.

I feel for your situation, my major (Japanese) is unemployable, so I'm getting some Master's degrees in other subjects now. I would say to do stuff like code extensions for Google Chrome, Anki and so on to add to your portfolio but also get you donation money in lieu of a job.
Finished: 2 AAs, 1 BA, 2 trade schools, 3 ENEB MAs, JLPT N1.
In Progress: 1 WGU MA, 2 Mastercurssos, 3 more ENEB MAs, teacher license.
