What are challenges of the working world that you didn’t expect to experience? 🔹 Bugs. You don’t know how bad a bug can be until you face it 🔹 Working w/others and their work. It’s important to develop guidelines and understand each other’s expectations @GianinaSkarlett #WWCode

You hear this a lot, but FIND YOUR “WHY”! It helped her stay committed. Supporting family and a passion for coding and problem solving. What’s yours? 🔹 Financial freedom? 🔹 Job flexibility? Harness it and bet on yourself! @GianinaSkarlett #WWCode

Learn to overcome fear with strategy. 1. Fear ➡️ No degree, no one will hire me. 2. Why? ➡️ Media & job postings say so. 3. Research ➡️ YouTube shows people who are finding jobs without a degree. 4. Analyze ➡️ Found evidence. What will it take for me? @GianinaSkarlett #WWCode
