Same experience in Georgia, state school and graduated in 2013 after a few years off in between. I wasn't exposed to programming until college. Worked in the restaurant industry throughout college and was only able to find a good job with my degree. Found a company through a college fair and classmates that started my IT/SE career. I was able to graduate debt free through a small grant and partial help from parents.
