As a middle ground, consider getting proficient at no code or low code frameworks.

Hello Jamell,

I receive daily email updates from the author of this website: https://www.freecodecamp.org
They have many interesting, no to low-cost references. Have a look and see what interests you. The daily emails always have something of interest to me.

Jamell; unless you have very solid coding skills and experience, I suggest that you target the non-coding aspects of the software engineering life cycle - such as up front business analysis and requirements, or back end testing, release management, deployment, and end user support. In my business area, coding is less than half the effort on a large software project.
Getting Agile experience as a Product Owner or Scrum Master would be useful as well.
