Mike Akins made the move from flying helicopters in the military to tech -- an AWESOME career switcher story! He has attended Oregon State and walks us through the challenges of searching for jobs as a student, from internships to applying for those first jobs.
We discuss imposter syndrome and working alongside a different generation of developers -- overall, a very enlightening discussion!
Thanks very much for your time, Mike!
