I'd be interested in a teaching/education degree, psychology, business administration, management, maybe even history, I just thought communications would have very little math and pretty heavily English/reading focused. I'm much stronger in English/reading/retention than math. I'm not against a computer science degree, but those seemed to require more math courses and lots of development courses in C++/Java which are languages I loathe as a PHP/Python dev. I'd rather have a bachelor's in something else where I have strong skills and get IT certifications for the specific technology I want to teach -- like salesforce or compTIA stuff.
You might consider looking at one of the WGU IT degrees, or their degree in Software Development. Those aren't as math heavy as a CS degree but would carry more weight for someone working in software and IT related industries. Plus if you have any certifications, they can be used for credit; if you don't, you'll pick up some new certifications along the way.
Working on: Debating whether I want to pursue a doctoral program or maybe another master's degree in 2022-23
