Second time through school, first time in CS

From some I hear you don't need it, but in my experience when I spoke to experienced, working developers, they have, or are in a computer science major.

I completed a bachelors degree in IT management, back in 2016, but I did not go anywhere into with it. Still motivated, trying to learn more and keep up with the tech field.

I am lucky enough where I have been able to attend school once again, during this coronavirus quarantine time my goal is to study Computer Science, already have noticed how different school is today than last time I was in University.

Truth is, I was never taught an actual programming language the first time around in school.

Now that I have started an actual CS degree, they started with Java, eventually move into C/C++, and a little assembly.

My goal that I am setting up today is to apply my learning from my classes into the swift programming language. Since I have been following iOS development for sometime, I started learning Objective-C a couple years ago, which ever will end up getting me a job first I feel like I will stick with.
