When I dropped out of college about a decade ago (oh how the time flies), I realized that it's a lot more about "quantity" than anything else. Apply to every job that seems interesting to you; worry about qualifications later. It's not your job to determine if you're qualified, it's theirs, and as long as you are upfront about what you know, they might be willing to overlook a lack of qualifications. > How to get through the automated resume screening, does having projects on GitHub help, etc? It definitely does, though I would recommend not putting school projects on your resume, at least projects where everyone in the class was doing the same thing. I can't tell you how many people I interviewed who put the same Handwriting Recognition project on their resume, only for me to hear that they basically just followed what the teacher told them. However, if you can really geek out about a personal project, talking about technical details and what you had to figure out to make it work, that goes a long way, degree or not. P.S. I recently finished the WGU Bachelors in CS as well...congrats on making it this far, and if you're planning this far ahead for a career I am confident you'll make it in the job market.
