I was in your position a few years ago. You might try emailing startups to take a chance on you (the more bureaucracy, generally the harder it is for people like you who have skills but no credentials). It's much harder as a high schooler so you'll face a lot of rejections and "sorry we really like you but we can't hire you, get in touch next year tho." Especially if you're under 18 and can't sign NDAs. If you have a blog or cool projects then those can help signal competence. And never work for free. Good luck! P.S. entering industry is cool and exciting but also consider using your senior spring to goof off with your friends and build projects that you want to build. You have the rest of your life to work lmfao
