Trying to find an entry developer job in the tech industry but haven't finished my degree have the experience I feel is required to fulfill such a position, any advice?
Hello Community, I just want to reach out and get some advice on if I am able to be hired into a developer job role. I haven't finished my degree but have taught myself way more than school has taught me since it's mostly the technological foundation needed to be understood before proceeding to backend routing, implementing necessary APIs for a project or how to link and compile libraries in C/C+ to be brought into programs for integration. I feel like I am Very knowledgeable but will still need to fill in what's need along the way. I am great at self teaching myself these concepts due to The actual love for it. I really wish a company could help me get going so I can work my way up. I work 40 hours a week doing general labor and code 4-5 hours in the evenings to continue expanding my knowledge base. I have a couple classes left for my associates in Software Engineering and would have about a year in a half after transferring to UCI to get my bachelors. Another question I have is should I finish my degree or at least my associates degree since I feel like my college learning experience was surpassed by Me self teaching myself the realistic ways we integrate technology together in our modern society. Using all kinds of packages, libraries and frameworks to cut the development time in half. I would love to hear from others on any feedback I should consider and if I could be possibly hirable and start to purse my career as a developer.
Thank You Fellas, Bryce

DON'T GET STUCK IN A RUT! [IBYC]
Must Read Without Failure!
Let's be honest with each other okay...?
I learned that everything that transpires in your life [negatively] is NOT your fault. There's a root cause and effect theory behind everything.
Such as, when...
- Your husband takes flight for stupid reasons...
- You're using public transportation from point A to B...
- You have no financial support for your three kids...
- Your supervisor wants you to work overtime twice a week...
- Your salary is between the poverty lines of debate and disaster...
Case and Point: When you're "stuck in a rut" it really sucks. Right?
So, what in the heck can you do?
STEP 1. Get a mentor that really cares and capable of assisting you in plotting a new course in life.
Then, everything else will begin to fall-in-place according to your faith, actions, and intentional attitude.
I Believe You Can...!

WHAT SHOULD YOUR RESUME SAY? [IBYC]
Read this note before 11pm.
Resumes can be troublesome to prepare if you're not familiar with techniques.
Listen, your resume should say at least four things to have a reasonable impact:
- Who you are?
- Where you're from?
- Where you're going?
- What will you do when you arrive?
Understanding these techniques causes everything else to fall-in-place.

DON'T LET GO OF YOUR DREAMS! [IBYC]
MUST READ WITHOUT FAILURE!
Listen carefully so this doesn't happen to you.
FACT: Many people let go of their dreams because of...
- Age factor.
- Social unrest.
- Past experiences.
- Family pressures.
- Who the heck knows?
The point is, while these all may be legitimate reasons, if they go unresolved they can cause your dreams to float in the opposite direction in life.
ACTION: Regain your strength; hold yourself up; keep your senses in-place; it's on the way.
Again, don't let go of your dreams! Unknowingly, they will come to pass if you act accordingly.

DON'T WAIT TO SMELL THE ROSES! [IBYC]
You should read this note...
4 - Thorns With Facts Of Life:
Why in the world do we wait so long? And what in the world are we waiting for?
- We wait for special occasions just to say I Love You.
- We wait for well-known holidays to give someone a card.
- We wait for a cry before considering the value of a smile.
- We wait for that argument before thinking of the pains.
Then as the years pass, we learn other things through difficult times.
Don't Wait To Smell The Roses in Life.
Always smell your roses now.
I Believe You Can...!
