Back 2010, there was no online coding videos and classes as there are now. Ain’t no way you learning computer engineering without college back then.
This is another really good point (about the online classes). I definitely recommend free online classes and utilizing tuition reimbursement (if the company offers it) for specialized certificates to all my mentees. There is free (or subsidized) access to information and knowledge about damn near everything you could want online these days. Now I am not saying it will make you a subject matter expert but you can actually use them to pick up knowledge about your current job or learn more about an area that you may have any to pivot to but don’t have the background in. On top of that, you can point to them as differentiators or boosters when interviewing and they show initiative too.
