What would you think about getting a cs degree from online schools like WGU? I’m 31 and trying to figure out my best strategy. Thanks for the great content

Hi Donald
I started to learn kotlin and android development, should I continue? Or is going to be more hard to get a job?

I am actually graduating soon with an architectural engineering degree ( bachelor + master ), and realized I was more interested in what is behind the development of the softwares we use than anything else ( so about 7 years of my life flushed down the drain ). I’ve been trying to find a bridge between my current field and something that is more into software development/coding to basically use my knowledge but in something that interests me more … etc, all while hopefully avoiding to do another degree 😢 Any advices ?

Really appreciate your videos !! ❤

Love the advice on working for free to get referrals and testimonials. Great way to get experience and if you’re really talented right from the start, potentially opening up the entrepreneurship route.
