How would you build a software developer?

I'm a Marine Corps Veteran and was just accepted to a program that will pay for school, any additional training that would make me more hirable, and a monthly housing allowance. I'm starting at a local community college and looking to transfer to Santa Clara University in pursuit of a computer science and engineering degree. The estimated time of completion is around three to four years. I start in Jan 2022. To supplement school, I've looked into coding boot camps, self-paced classes, and youtube videos. The thought here is to try to get internships. If you could go back and redo your path to your current role, what would you have done differently? What would have been dropped and what added? What advice would you give someone in my shoes starting the journey? What should I know? Are coding boot camps worth it? Anything else I should know? #college #technology #computer #computer-science #computer-software #software-developer #coding #phython Thank you!
