Jul 27, 2022 at 15:35 comment added Jared Smith @Max I get it and I don't disagree but this is too long for a comment and given the framing it needed to be said.
Jul 27, 2022 at 15:30 comment added Jared Smith @Arxci "I've thought about college or a boot camp for the sole purpose of internships, but I can't make that happen right now" that's fair, just mind the difference between disparaging the education route (even cynically taken) and saying "I see the value but can't do it". I dropped out of my CS program to work in industry after 1 year because I had a wife, a 2 year old, and a mortgage. So believe me I get it.
Jul 26, 2022 at 6:02 comment added Max The question (in its current form) asks how the OP can improve their portfolio, not whether or not education is good or necessary for the chosen career. While it might be the case that OP should consider an education, this is not the question asked, and it is also clear that improving the portfolio will marginally improve OP's chances of a job, even if not by the same amount as a degree.
Jul 26, 2022 at 3:38 comment added Arxci Not necessarily. I can't do the education route as I have bills to pay and can't afford to quit my current job for schooling. I've thought about college or a boot camp for the sole purpose of internships, but I can't make that happen right now.
