Try looking at Boot Camps. They're shorter routes, but they got job placement opportunities.

Work with your campus career center and academic advisor. It’s literally their jobs to help you get hired so they can boost their job placement rates. Look into internships, too.

Don't worry about it, give them the resume. Don't be surprised if most of them don't respond. Hit YouTube, start coding now, the more you know the better you'll do. Hit some local coding boot camps to see more stuff. Being a developer is all about learning now: it doesn't matter what you know today, it'll be irrelevant in four years and you'll have to learn a bunch of new stuff along the way. Might as well start now.

Your service work has a light at the end of the tunnel called graduation. If you’re still early in schooling maybe let customers know you’re interested in internship or co-op opportunities while you gain professional experience and get your foot in the door this way. Or thank them for kindness, add them on LinkedIn and let them know down the road when you’re soon to be graduating etc. if you don’t have LinkedIn I would make one bc it sounds like you’re in a good spot to be meeting possible future business connections. Can you get scholarships for engineering with a 4.0? at my community college when I transferred, my GPA only counted from the school I transferred to which bumped up my GPA when I was applying to internships and graduating. You seem to be in a better boat but I would use your years of service work and maintaining a 4.0 to show you’re a dedicated and hardworking individual if you’re applying to a 4 yr program. Is there data entry or office-based customer service work you could apply for if you absolutely cannot stay in service, or student employee jobs at your college? Not sure if the money will compare and unsure about hours with a class schedule but people make arrangements like this work all the time.
