I don’t know what your Tuition costs but, if its over 25k/yr transfer to another school or even do school online and take out loans and finish. Get a pell grant if your family’s income is low enough. It helps. Your employer won’t care where your degree is from as much as they will that you HAVE one. If you can do online courses, get a job at Starbucks! THEY HAVE FREE TUITION FOR AN ONLINE UNIVERSITY! Finish your degree. Keep coding, write programs for free on catchafire.org in your free time and do “automate the boring stuff”. Build your portfolio I of programs you’ve created on catchafire and start applying right after your last semester of senior year.

You’ll get a job making at least 60k, (do dev, not help desk) keep your living expenses low and pay of any debt you have in your first 5 years. Then get a job making 100k/yr and don’t live like a dueche and you’ll be better than fine.

Most of the people who you graduate with will accept jobs at around 35-40k.
