Why did you choose the software engineering degree over the computer science degree program?

I did it because I want practical experience and hands on experience. So far in the swe program, that’s proving to be true. I have 10 years of IT operations experience, and want to pivot to a more technical role, but don’t just want to be a systems administrator or ops guy long term. I actually want to build stuff, integrate stuff and make things work. I love code and bug fixing. I love building systems. I know CS is the gold standard, but swe is an extension of cs, so I feel it’s still a good degree to have.
