Well, I don't know what a "mis major" is so I can't help you there.

As for programming, it honestly depends on how many software languages the course requires you to learn. Some languages are easier to learn than others. BBCode is pretty simple, but C++ isn't. Programming is basically about learning and writing long lines of computer languages into workable code that can then be applied to programs and applications. I'm not very well versed in the details, but both my brothers are.

My older brother went to a private 4 year college to learn, but he also took AP classes in high school, and some high school classes counted toward his college credits. He now programs tiny computer chips to do the tasks assigned to them. For example, his current job is designing chips to be workable in human pacemakers. It's a very niche job, but he enjoys the work.

My younger brother works as a network technician. He basically solves any issues a network might have and gets it back up and running as soon as possible. He works with a variety of clients in his position, and is certified in the use of several computer languages and some levels of coding.

So yeah, I hope I helped somewhat, and sorry if I'm not offering you information more pertinent to your question.
