text: Going to grad school might be a good option for you, if you want to get work in  your field or to find something completely different. Many employers see it as a logical way to transition from one field to another, and you need a more recent, applicable educational credential in order to make up for your lack of recent work experience in the field. But your quantitative GRE score is really low for Computer Science graduate programs, so I'm concerned. \n\nAnother option for you is to NOT go to grad school right now. Instead, get a certificate or take the classes to become certified in a specific area of computer science, such as programming. That will also give you the boost you need to get back into computer programming. \n\nI think I remember the following universities offering distance learning, graduate certificates in specific areas of computer and information sciences.
