Graduating with a CS Degree, No Internships—What’s My Best Move?

Hey all,

I’m about to graduate with a Computer Science degree from WGU, but I didn’t manage to land any internships. Right now, I work in real estate as an Assistant Property Manager, and I hate it. I’d really like to transition into a higher-paying, non-customer-facing, hybrid/remote-friendly career—but I’m unsure what direction makes the most sense in today’s job market.

I know I need to build projects and start applying, but I’m concerned about oversaturated fields. I’ve considered UX/UI since I have an art background, but I’ve heard it’s just as competitive as most other fields.

Would you recommend:

• Aggressively building projects and applying? If so, what fields aren’t completely flooded right now?
  
• Pursuing a master’s degree? If so, which program would give me the best ROI?
  
• Any alternative paths that could leverage my CS degree and interest in design/art while still leading to a stable, high-paying job?
  

For those of you making six figures or more, what do you do? How long did it take you to get there? Would you recommend your path?

Appreciate any insight!
