Hey everyone once again,
I was curious about everyone's opinion on my situation.
1. I'm in high school and have been coding for about 2 years on my free time. I'd like to think of myself as knowledgable(especially after reading MrMike's new book)
2. In my senior year(next year) i'm taking a course called "Co-op" where I will basically go out and find a job. Once employed i get to drop out around 4th period(noon) to go there but it would only be for 3 or 4 hours.
3. I'm in the Atlanta suburbs where there are tons of IT and business oriented programming jobs but only one real game programming company around that i can find.
4. I would have to deal with some intense traffic coming home from work if i were to get a job at any of these places. (2 hour drive for 3 hours of work).
So should i follow my dream and try my hardest as a sigh-schooler to get a job that might only be an internship requiring a large bit of hassle? Or should I merely settle the closest minimum wage job I can grab and use my time to get some exrta spending money until college? Can i even get a internship at this place without even a high school degree?
Any advice or comments would be a great help. I'm really torn on the topic. Thanks.
