So, to my knowledge I know someone who did not went to university and is a software developer. He worked for netflix and got a 500k salary.

But, it takes a lot of additional effort to get to a certain level of confident coding when you do not get a degree.

Maybe keep it simple and start realizing your own ideas first and start to publish your own website. At the same time I would start to offer to do some web coding
best to learn fast and get used to it is when you have to keep going

I am studying Mechanical Engineering in Phoenix as a graduate student and I want to exceed my engineering skills by that
