I'm five years out of graduating university with a B.S. in Sociology. At some point in that time I realized my love for CS and design-thinking. I decided to try and make a career change. Last month I completed CS50 and should be receiving my certificate soon. I'm also now looking at degree/cert programs to continue my education.

The amount that one can learn from this course is incredible and it really sets you up to continue learning. I also just started the intro to game development today.

Word from the wise - those certificates are pieces of paper that nobody in your future job search will ever ask or care about.

It's "a word to the wise". Now you are just calling yourself wise...

furthermore I don't agree a certification is useless for someone trying to get into development/design thinking from sociology. It's a lot better than nothing.

If you don't mind me asking which site did you enroll in these courses, I am extremely interested in these.
