Ive got many years working with computers, pulling em apart and shit. I know how to do front end coding. I'm not a computer person by education but I have lots and lots of experience at jobs with tech.

How do I land one of those gigs where I put my feet up for like 40-50k? Do I need certs? Do I go to school? Do I do a boot camp? Seriously lost here. My industry's collapse means this lrn2code shit is the only thing I figure I can do at this point.

    Basically remember this: Most IT jobs exist because boomers refuse to learn how to use the equipment for their job, and take a weird pride in not knowing it, and for some reason, the corporate world decided this was acceptable. So you're just keeping their dumbass shit away from the system administrators, the ones who do real work.

      Very accurate. My job at times has been "designated person who can google well", as others at the company prefer to write shit on paper and shoot their monitor if an error comes up in the $4,000,000 example code software they just bought.
