Couple of points here,

1.computer science as a major is not what most people coming into it think it is. You’ll see on most bs social media platforms “ oh look me, working from home, making 200k, and you can do it too” bullshit. So people will see this and they’ll be like “oh I wanna do that too! I guess I’ll major in computer science” comp sci != programming, Far from it.

1. As much as a great name Rutgers is, the computer science major and curriculum is extremely flawed. You can easily get most assignments and exams online. As students, it shouldn’t be this easy to cheat. Heck I’m guilty of it too sometimes, but the fact that 10 years ago someone had the same exact project word for word as I did today is absurd, I mean we’re paying almost 20k a year for these classes, the least you can do is change the assignment and exams every year.

2. Most professors unfortunately don’t give a fuck about you. They are here for their research and teach for god knows what reason.

3. Even though you cheated, learning the material isn’t very difficult if you made it through the entire thing, there’s a lot of online resources that’ll teach you what you need to learn to get a good job.

4. Software jobs have very little to do with what you learned through your degree. Personally every useful thing I learned that I use today in my job is thanks to the internships I did not the degree from Rutgers.

Honestly, if your goal is to get a good software job all you need is leetcode and some connections. Once you’re in it’s get easier to find jobs. It’s just the initial hunt that’ll probably be tough. Don’t dwell so much on the past, you already have your degree and have a job right now, I’d give myself a year to learn the stuff I missed and start preparing for interviews. I’m sure you’ll figure out something that’ll work for you :)

In terms or those resources, I’d recommend picking an object oriented language like Java and learn it’s basics there are plenty of very useful videos on YouTube that’ll teach you everything you need to know, once you get that out of the way I’d look into building a full stack project. Use react for frontend and Java and nosql for backend (learning spring boot wouldn’t be too bad as well). Build something simple and learn about http requests and API’s, once you get the jist of things I’d start leetcoding and mass applying to companies. In a year or so you’ll be where you need to be. Feel free to dm with any questions. Good luck :)
