Ask HN: I have a CS degree but taught for 5 years– how can I get back into tech?

4•padzochambers•3mo ago
I’m 28 (m) and have a Computer Science degree under my belt. A few years after graduating, I pursued a teaching degree because it came with a great tax-free incentive. Now I’ve realised I want to use my original degree and get back into tech.

I’d really appreciate advice from people currently working in the field — what would you recommend for someone who has a CS degree but no professional experience beyond teaching?

Apologies if this type of post isn't suited for the HN - will delete if so.

Give us more background: why is it you realized you want to use your original degree? are you coding? if so, in what kind of projects?
padzochambers•3mo ago
After my degree I didn't want to pursue it as I fell out of love with it, possibly due to stress and letting Uni life get the better of me. It became stressful environment but through recent experiences and talking with close friends who are in the field of CS, overtime I've realised and processed that I still have a massive interest and constant want to learn more within it or somewhat be involved in it. The years of teaching it has definitely played a part in showing students my passion for the subject, reminding myself how much I love it too.

I've started picking up on python again and taking online courses to refresh myself but I want to make myself employable after these years. I have previous experience in java, php and C+ also. I've never worked in a professional coding environment either, hence why I am coming on here to seek advice on what would be best.

Appreciate the response.
