IT jobs (forensics?) and CS degree
#1
I plan to get the BA-CS degree, and I'm sure I want to proceed with it for personal reasons, but I'm curious. Another thread made me wonder if that degree will have some downsides to it for me personally.

Since I'm not able to follow a regular career path due to disabilities, and can only take a job where I work in my own closed-off space, without much contact with others.

I wondered if some of the IT/IS/CIS kinds of positions would consider me overqualified (due to the degree being CS not just IT) and bypass me for that? I'm not sure there are many positions in the first place, but I'm trying to get a better idea of some possibilities. 

The only thing I could really come up with realistically was one of those boring lower-level monitoring type of jobs. But, I'm not sure this is realistic anyway, because I think there are not as many of them anymore and hard to get. I feel like I don't want to study for and take a higher-level cybersecurity job, but I wouldn't mind the lower level ones.

I'm also hesitant to do jobs that focus on data (but may end up doing so). I have an interest in forensics, which I know are often data-heavy jobs, but I think there might be some I like. But many of those jobs seem to involve testifying in court or interacting with law enforcement officers regularly.

There is still a lot I don't know about the possible job types, but when I try to find info, the ones that seem to fit are mostly security or data. Does anyone know of others? Almost all support jobs have too much interaction with others, and networking jobs usually require bending over, etc Sad

I may also end up working in a different field altogether (and still want the BA-CS degree). Part of why I want it is to serve as a backup, in case I am forced to quickly find a temp/short-term job. I believe if it were necessary, I could find something entry-level or temp.
