So the link you actually provided. Are you working in coding? If so what area? And how long have you been?

No I don't code for my job. But my employer is still paying for me to take classes at Holberton University through our cross training program since coding is becoming so important.
Eta: I work in data telecommunications in the Bay area.

I would skip drafting, while it can be good. Go for Engineering.
Did you read the title of the thread? He said Associates Degree.

I have been doing this for 5 years, got laid off twice and have been struggling to get back into the field. Ive told some compaines I would work for free for a week or 2, or even try to hustle some side work, they think im nuts. But to be honest most job entries are looking for 8-10 year people. Nobody wants to train anybody.
I've been doing this for 20 yrs and only been laid off once in 2009. You must suck at your job to get laid off twice, in 5 yrs, during a time when the business is booming. And by the way, my company just hired 3 green horns fresh out of technical school. Companies loves young blood cause they get to teach them their way.

5. But everyone experience is different. It may work great for you. Some hit a job and can stay in it. If you do get to the top, Compaines arent training anyone anymore, so If you get there, "your there man"

Take programming and sql database.
If you can do programming you can get work.
Take English 101 and 102.
Buy a grammar book.
Take speech 101.
If you didnt take bookkeeping in high school take two accounting classes.
Each semester look at jobs websites for programming.
Learn something needed where you want to work and live.
For your local community college or jc one or two teachers have good reputation. Take that guys class.
Two years will fly by.
Under 2% of IT people are unemployed nationally.
If you are addicted to something quit.
Some really good employers test.
There are a lot of programming jobs on usajobs.
Advantage: great insurance, decent hours, a 401k and federal holidays and sick/vacation days pile up.
A lot of programming work is weird/awful. Long hours, ignorant leadership.
Keep resume up to date monthly.

Are you saying once you get "experienced" you can freelance ?

Need info on Associate Degrees
Would you like to have your own desk where you can prop your feet up, nod off occasionally, and grumble when maintenance comes up wanting a permit?
All the while, getting paid $40+ an hour straight time, with some time and half and double time mixed in?
You need to get you a PTEC degree at RPCC, or any of the other 2 year schools in the area.

I did an AAS in Construction Management. It got my foot in the door with a company and they paid for my first bachelors.

Just for local work, or all over the country?
