FEATURED JAVA GRADUATE: JEN JOST

After spending 14 years working in higher education, Jen Jost was ready for a change. She needed much more control over her own schedule.

Jen loved the technical aspects of her previous career, so she began exploring several code school options in Omaha and Lincoln. Ultimately, she felt unable to devote three months of her life to a full-time code school, so she chose Interface Web School for her education. Jen said, “It was intense, but not all-consuming. I can’t take off three months from life to be completely immersed in code school.” She took the Java Specialization Course with Kent Smotherman and now enjoys a successful freelancing career.
