It’s a lot easier to teach yourself coding with a degree in a different field versus teaching yourself an entire different field with a degree in coding though.

So true. And why stop at one? I've had to teach myself 9 fields, so far, to apply my degree in coding.

Haha, I was going to say "Let me introduce you to contracting". I've had to be everything from an agronomist to a supply chain manager to make things work.

Yes. Most of mine are from contracting, as well.
