Tom: Hey, Alice. How did you get into tech?

Tom: That's interesting! So you didn't attend a regular college or anything like that?
Alice: No, not at all. I was at a different job, but I got really BLANK programming and tech, so I started learning in my free time.

Alice: Absolutely. It was challenging, but I loved it. The flexibility of online learning allowed me to balance my job and my studies.
