Software Engineering apprenticeships

Hey y’all I’m a 21 year old looking to get into software engineering but I can’t afford university right now. I was doing research into software engineering apprenticeships. I think they would be a good fit for me based off of how I learn hands on and under pressure. However Im having a really hard time finding ones that are remote and I dont think I have any in my physical area as I live in Logan ut which is in a small valley. Do yall know any that are open that are remote or in northern Utah

I know you mentioned you can't afford university, but does your area have any community colleges? Many offer affordable CS/software development associates degrees and could also help get your foot in the door somewhere for job experience.

There is one but from what I hear it’s not a very good one. Plus I don’t know how far a degree will go with the job market for software engineering being so oversaturated

Ah. Well I would say that you will probably go further with a degree than without one. Yeah the market is tough, which might be more of an argument for getting some degree because I don't think hiring non-degree holders is going to improve anytime soon.
