Yusef,

The world is filled with opportunities for you to learn, practice, and prepare for your dream job. I'll bet you already know many of them: Udemey, Coursera, EdX, and even right here! As for where to practice, there are probably thousands of open-source projects that would love your contribution.

I doubt any of these are a surprise, but I also get the feeling you've not committed to any of them yet. Focus on building a body of work in the area you want to move into, and you'll be surprised at how quickly you have something to show employers. Employers want to see more than just drive, we want to see actions and outcomes. Talk is cheap, so go build something to show us!

Good luck!
Marcus
