With college to expensive to be worth it, what possible career paths are there that will let someone actually own a home and support a family? I'd tried the learn to code meme, but without a degree or prior experience, I can't get in anywhere. Webdev is shit and HTML/CSS makes me want to blow my fucking brains out, but I can at least build shit in Node.js and use Python for all sorts of stuff.
Has anyone actually gotten a job in the tech industry just by being self taught? With the pajeets and H1B program, is it even worth it? What else can one do?
All these tech companies just want pajeets, but they have to offer the job to americans first so they can tell the government that no american wants the job. That's why they have ridiculous requirements. They just want a cheap pajeet. Fuck this country.

>owning a home that's a low bar dream. why not a Freeman? If you ever need another house you can always sell it and buy two. Miami to Cuba in under two hours. You could pay it off just smuggling cigars.
I suffered a lot of abuse as a child and it fucked me the hell up, so when I first tried I was traumatized, couldn't sleep or focus on anything, and failed out. I taught myself calculus and differential equations in an attempt to get back in, and was accepted but am no longer eligible for financial aid from the government. As you can imagine, that also means there's no private bank that'll offer me a loan, and I don't have anyone to cosign with me. The cost of college is THE barrier I'm trying to get around by pursuing this career path.

Just say you have one. They rarely check anyway.

I got an AAS degree in Radiation Protection. I've worked for the Department of Energy as a contractor for 6 years now.
A lot of work for DoE and NRC forever.
You'll end up working as a Radiological Control Technician. My last RCT job I was making $130,000 a year for 40 hours a week and I would nap most of the day.
You don't need a degree. I've never met anybody with a degree besides me. A lot of people go to a technical college and get a certificate.
Now I'm a Radiological Engineer making quite a bit more and it's easier but the qualifications and tests are a lot harder.
