Ask HN: Mid-20's career change into computer engineering through BU LEAP

1 points by rollo_tommasi ↗ HN
I'm a 23 year old with a useless degree and a rather unsatisfying F500 back-office job with little prospect of advancement. It sucks. I'm thinking of applying to the BU LEAP program:

http://www.bu.edu/eng/academics/special-programs/leap/

To obtain an M.Eng in computer engineering, with the hope of obtaining satisfying and remunerative employment afterwards. My questions for any magnanimous readers:

[1] Is anyone familiar with this program? [2] Assuming I were able to excel in the program, can anyone take a guess at the employment prospects of a 26-28 y.o. BU M.Eng graduate? My fear is that I would take on additional debt and burn a few more years of my life only to find that I was doomed to be only employable as a mid-level employee at Random Data Systems in Nowheresburb, MA.
