Why not getting a job with flexible hours or even something in shifts. This will get you paid rather well and if haven’t got a wife or kids for the moment use your spare time to study.
I’ve known a security guard who only worked nights, very well payed. As nights are call he used it to study.
Many possibilities all depends on your willingness and personal situation. You do not always have to throw money against something to succeed.
Like mentioned in previous posts. You really need the obsession to become great and that will take some years. Do kot expect the big $$ in the beginning.
that is what i planned to do, find some flexible job, while learning to programming..
and idk ive been thinking with my age rn, i dont asks for to much.. just enough for survive and maybe for my building pc interest to healing
You're young. I switched jobs and profession twice already. For me, it was the other way around and back again. Came from programming (10 years) then Linux adminstration (2 years) and decided to do Geography. Studied it and the programming skills helped me there, too.
There is always something you can take with you to the next job or profession.
I wasn't lucky to get a job where I can use my Geography studies so I am now almost 2 years in web programming. I did not have much experience in the field, but I found a place where my Linux adminstration knowledge is useful and I improved web backend programming skills (PHP) on the job.
Soft skills count, too. Reliablity, ability to work in a team. Recruiters look for those things.
And btw. I got my Linux knowledge initially only from personal unpaid studies and projects in my free time.
wow, from what i read i believe you're amazing person, thanks for sharing sir.. it means a lot
