Great post, and best of luck on your journey! I had a similar career switch when I left my mechanical engineering career for software development. I went to a coding bootcamp instead of a master's program, but either way, I think you'll definitely enjoy the change.

Thanks for the appreciation [Michael](https://hashnode.com/@mjstromberg). Actually, coding bootcamps aren't a thing here, so a Master's program was my best option. Let's see how it goes. Really excited, fingers crossed!
