I've always been interested in programming, but unfortunately for me, I never considered it an option while growing up, so allow me to offer advice from a different career perspective. A bit of history, I was the kind of kid that has always gone with the flow. I had no direction in life. All I knew is that I got amazing grades in biology and chemistry in highschool so I was a Biochem undergrad. So naturally, I had no fucking clue what I wanted to do with my newfound degree. I sorta liked my laboratory classes so I looked online for listings for lab work. A recruiter for a hiring firm found me and had me come in for an interview for basically all the jobs she had available. It was fucking weird and I had already been working at an animal hospital so I wanted something to do with microbiology. The lady says that I didn't have enough experience for microbiology and that I'd fit better in a chemistry setting. So she lands me a job at some flavor making corporation as a QA tester. Worst fucking experience of my life. I despise corporate environments (which is why I'm kinda glad I didn't do computer science/programming). I reevaluated my life choices on my third day there. After a week I quit and went back to my animal hospital job and have just now finished applying to Vet School.

Recruiters don't care about what you want or what you're interested in. They're only getting paid to fill positions they know you fit in. The downside is that a ton of jobs (at least in my situation) hired through recruiters. I can't do any meaningful work with just a bachelors in Biochemistry. So that's why I figured I'd go all out and become a veterinarian. My foot, hell, practically my whole body is already through that door, might as well take that chance, right? So if you're unsatisfied with your prospects, consider going further in your education, but again, I don't know much about your degree.
