I dropped out of college but I did complete computer science and math courses. I am unsure how to list this on linkdin or any other resume for that matter. I also have very few references and I have not held down a job in 3 years, I left my last job on poor terms with my employer.

3,362 PointsYou can list the number of credit hours completed on your resume. As far as moving, remember that you might be able to find a job in which you can work from your current location.

15,876 PointsThere are very few places to volunteer where I live. Most of them are not taking new applicants. I am currently working, but I have not held down a job for longer than a few months. There are also no programming or web development companies or jobs in the area. I would like to move but I do not have the funds to do so at the moment.
