High School DROPOUT to SELF-TAUGHT Programmer In My 30s with a GED! (No Degree) [My Success Story]

I talk a little about my journey as a high school dropout with retail and customer service jobs to a self-taught programmer and web developer.


I go over how I started coding in my 30s and how I got a job as a web developer with no education beyond a GED. Most of this video talks about my motivation for wanting to learn to code and I go over a little on how I became a self-taught programmer, describing some of the steps I took in learning and how I got my first developer job.
