Ask HN: How do you start a new career with minimal qualifications?
Can you do an online degree and work on the side? My wife is doing a CS masters, of course it&#x27;s useful to be married to someone who can help, but essentially she&#x27;s starting from the bottom. I don&#x27;t know what types of work you could do in the mean time, but perhaps it&#x27;s a possibility?<p>Also, see if people are happy if you&#x27;re simply working towards a degree. Put 2024 or whatever as your degree year and see if people care. I&#x27;ve only ever had to prove my degree status once in 18 years. Keep in mind often HR people are gatekeeping for the real decisionmakers, who will care less about specifics like that. If you can get in touch directly, that might help a lot.
