Just don’t learn to code in community college (unless you plan to transfer to university), just self-educate if you can’t afford university, and learn a different trade to make life easier. Community college coding is good experience as in skills, but school is abysmal, and you’ll be learning everything on your own anyway as community college professors typically half-ass their courses and give the crappiest, contradictory, low-effort assignments and sometimes with little to no reading material, especially online. Make sure to research good practices and common pitfalls as you will not learn this in community college. Also, good luck, as you are competing with thousands and thousands of laid off tech workers. You’ll be lucky to have an entry-level IT contract job with no benefits and no guarantee for future employment.
