In this episode, we'll talk with Jake, a software engineer. For the right person, software engineering can be a rewarding and interesting job, with the potential for excellent benefits, hours, and compensation, working from nearly anywhere. It is also doesn't require a four year degree, often a prerequisite for salaried roles in the United States.
Listen to the end for Jake's advice to his younger self on work, a quote borrowed from Steve Martin: "Be so good, they can't ignore you."
Bootcamp that Jake wanted to highlight:
Code Platoon, a coding bootcamp for Veterans, active duty Servicemembers, and military spouses to transition into the civilian workforce by providing technical training and career placement. More information at: https://www.codeplatoon.org/
