I’m currently in school to be a software engineer

I’m attending an apprenticeship for software engineers. I honestly wasn’t going to let any one know. I am new to being a software engineer and I’ve attended for 9 months after I was fired. I created both of these assignments I haven’t completed it just yet. It’s been a long road and continuing on I will graduate. It’s an online school which works for me I have small children and it’s summer for them. It’s been a tough time for me. #softwareengineer #life #Lemon8 #codingbootcamp

In recent years, the demand for software engineers has surged, making this an attractive career choice for those interested in technology.
