I went to Community College and you're going to have to try really hard early on. I highly recommend looking for companies in your area and trying to establish relationships with some of the people there. Attend Hackathons at bigger schools in your area, and establish an online presence for yourself. It's great that you're concerned with this, you're already ahead of many of your peers. I don't recommend going to Community college, but like myself you probably have little choice in the matter. At a bigger school it's much easier for you to land something. Good luck friend.
