YES it makes sense. Maths, especially as it is taught in college, is mostly useless for programming. A bit of classical logic and algebra can be useful. Whilst it is possible to be a self-taught programmer (and many good ones are), for many people it is effective to take a software engineering course. A good course will teach you more than just programming. Some theory is useful for being able to quickly understand advances as they come into wider use. As for getting a job, there are many avenues to take. The key is to show that you can and have solved real problems using your skills of analysis, design and implementation. Of course, some HN readers will ask "On what basis have you reached the conclusion that you are a 'pretty good developer'?"
