CS vs Math - Choosing major help
#7
MOOCs and bootcamps are only enough to get you very junior web development jobs. They are not a replacement for a CS degree. From a money and time perspective,  the TESU CS degree is completely alternative credit friendly while you'll need to take regular courses from somewhere to get the math degree. If you want to work in AI, or cryptography, or other math heavy disciplines, then a math degree can serve you well.

If being a developer quickly and cheaply is your #1 goal, I'd say get the CS degree as quickly as you can and get working.
NanoDegree: Intro to Self-Driving Cars (2019)
Coursera: Stanford Machine Learning (2019)
TESU: BA in Comp Sci (2016)
TECEP:Env Ethics (2015); TESU PLA:Software Eng, Computer Arch, C++, Advanced C++, Data Struct (2015); TESU Courses:Capstone, Database Mngmnt Sys, Op Sys, Artificial Intel, Discrete Math, Intro to Portfolio Dev, Intro PLA (2014-16); DSST:Anthro, Pers Fin, Astronomy (2014); CLEP:Intro to Soc (2014); Saylor.org:Intro to Computers (2014); CC: 69 units (1980-88)
