More U.S. companies no longer requiring job seekers to have a college degree (www.cbsnews.com)

Employers across a range of industries are dropping a job requirement once considered a ticket to a higher paying job and financial security: a college degree.

Today's tight labor market has led more companies instead to take a more skills-based approach to hiring, as evidenced on job search sites like Indeed and ZipRecruiter.

"Part of it is employers realizing they may be able to do a better job finding the right talent by looking for the skills or competencies someone needs to do the job and not letting a degree get in the way of that," Parisa Fatehi-Weeks, senior director of environmental, social and governance (ESG) for hiring platform Indeed told CBS MoneyWatch.

I have ideas of things to do, but since I am starting from 0

Perfect! You've taken the hardest step. I can give you advice from here.

Computers only really do 3 types of work, there can be more but most can be summarized like this:

Displaying things on screen: this only ever happens on the end user's device. React and React native are the best options for that.
Copying data from one spot to the next: simple operations to get data from one location, reencode it and send it somewhere else, wether to the end user's device or another database its all the same work. Typescript is best suited for that.
Hard work: processing large blobs of data like reencoding pictures and videos, consuming megabytes of data at a time and running a calculation. Go is best suited for that.

Thank you so much for your responses! I feel a lot more encouraged after this conversation. You never know how the seeds you plant may grow—and you’ve definitely planted one today.

I think I’ll start with some basic move and rename stuff since that would save me some manual work, and then I’ll see how I can grow from there.
