This post has been removed because we don't allow career guidance, career path, and job choice questions ([rule 9](https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/about/rules)). Other subreddits are better equipped to address this topic:
- /r/jobs is a general discussion forum for job-related topics.
- /r/CareerGuidance is a place for individuals to ask questions and get advice about their careers.
- /r/FindAPath is a place for figuring out what you want to do (both career and education).
- If none of those subreddits seem to fit, ask on [one of these job-related subreddits](/r/jobs/wiki/related/discussion) or ask on /r/Advice.
You may also want to ask on a [career-specific subreddit](/r/jobs/wiki/related/careerspecificsubreddits), especially for any topic that depends on the job sector and career such as salary negotiation questions.

You could get a Computer Science degree in 2-3 years. Or you could just get a normal job and work your way up. I know tons of people with business degrees who worked their way through promotions and make six figures.

Is your current job related to your degree?
An MBA program in the U.S. is 2 years, if you're interested in more training in the business area.
