You don’t need a CS degree to break into tech—what you need is proof of skill, consistency, and community. Start by picking a focus (e.g., web dev, data analysis, product management), then spane into hands-on learning using platforms like freeCodeCamp, Coursera, or Codecademy. Build real projects and host them on GitHub or a portfolio website—these speak louder than any diploma. Document your journey publicly on LinkedIn or X (formerly Twitter); sharing what you learn builds trust and visibility. Contribute to open-source, volunteer for nonprofits, or freelance—small gigs still count. Join tech communities (Discord, Reddit, local meetups) and start networking. Certifications (like Google, AWS, or Meta’s) can add weight, but what truly builds credibility is consistent output and community involvement. No one cares where you started—what matters is what you can do now and who knows it. You're not behind—you're just getting started from a different angle, and that’s an asset, not a drawback.
