Next week I'm starting an internship as a fullstack dev but its in a ""startup"" that develops software with Codeigniter, bootstrap and ajax in the big 2025.

It's better than nothing since I've been unemployed for a year but I'm not going to lie, I fear this job will leave me with useless skills that wont help in my career, the only good thing is that the pay is higher than usual for the position where I live (or to say it better, it's the average pay but with part time hours doing only 20 hours a week).

So yeah, of course I'll do my best to keep this position for at least a few years because I know the market is shit everywhere but if you were in my position what would you do to grow professioanally? I was considering approaching the 'teachyourselfcs' material but perhaps an university degree would still be a better ROI? I just dont want to stay a code monkey for life, I have a good grasp of many different concepts even networking/ OS related etc and I'd probably like to work on embedded software but rn thats only a dream
