Civil Engineer exploring a masters in Software

Hi

Just wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation to what I am in right now. I have just finished my Civil Engineering & Commerce degree and am working as a civil engineer right now. I plan to do these at least for the next 5 years or so just to get some experience behind me.

I have always been passionate about coding and software and I guess one of my regrets is not doing that instead of engineering. But with technology such as AI, big data and machine learning all coming into fruition in the next decade, I want to be a part of this industry.

I am wondering

• How accessible would a masters in something such as AI or software engineering be to someone who has very limited knowledge of any languages but is passionate and willing to put time in?

• If its better to start studying it straight away or work a few years and get experience?

• What the job prospects for these degrees will look down the line?

Many Thanks in advance
