What's it like to have to pawn your laptop to pay the rent? What does it feel like to get accepted in a program that feels like your last chance to achieve success?
On Episode 16 of Skill, Micah shares a conversation with Tramane Hall, a recent graduate of Lambda School's Full Stack Web development program. Tramane shares his personal journey from getting his first job in IT, to struggling to pay the bills, to finally getting accepted into a code academy to learn new skills. Tramane now works as a Software Engineer at Nexiant.
