There are basically two ways of of becoming a software engineer in 2022:
* Self-taught
* College

If you go the self taught path, make sure to look at the companies in your area to see what technologies are in demand before you choose a bootcamp. Then learn the most popular technology in your area.

If you choose to do online learning, pick a company that has a path to certifications like cloudacademy.com.

If you choose to go the college route, make sure you pick a program that you can graduate from. Don't get wrapped up in which computer science program is better - pick a program and graduate. But make sure to study on your own and learn skills that are needed in a business environment.

Either way, do as many real world personal projects as you can and try to gain as many internships as possible. Real world projects prove to me that you are motivated to learn on your own. Internships prove to me that you can work as part of a team.

Once you get that job, the learning doesn't stop. Pick a platform like CloudAcadamy.com to continue learning as you move forward in your career.
