If you have the ambition, you could probably do so with a 2-year electronics degree assuming you already know some basic programming and have the drive to learn outside of school. A programming or computer science degree will teach you to program and a little about how computers work, but an electronics or computer engineering technology degree will teach you assembly or C and all of the hardware architecture. This is the big takeaway from the thread. The foundational skills from the engineering side will serve you far better than a narrow focus on a specific language; you can always learn the languages later if you really want to dive deep but having the ability to hard code a program onto a motherboard is a dying art that is underappreciated. I give serious thought to getting my engineering degree which also comes with the bonus of being able to legally operate a train. --- Why didn't you DODGE‽‽‽ Quoting me will trigger the profanity filter, Not Joking.
