The key to obtaining any job is to convince the interviewer that you have what it takes to exceed their expectations. Reviewing the list of classes you have here, I definitely think it would be a great start to that career field.


The best thing to do, of course, is to contact software engineers in the field you are interested in and ask them what their background, education, and credentials are, then you can tailor your education to suit. Good luck!
