Asked by

Hey everyone! I'm currently working towards an associate's degree in software engineering at my local community college. I'm wondering if it's realistic to get hired with just this degree. I'm also planning to spend some extra time building a solid portfolio and website to showcase the projects and games I'll create. Any insights or tips you can share would be super helpful. Thanks a bunch!
