I’m currently a line cook, considering making the switch, but I’m a little confused about where to start. A local community college offers some certs that seem promising.

I have a little relevant background, a minor in comp sci, but that was some years ago (trying to relearn some of the material in my spare time now).

Certs can get you in the door. They aren’t that important later.

Honestly getting an internship or some form of work experience goes a very long way. Then it’s a matter of meeting the right people at the right time.
