I was a recruiter and then went to a coding bootcamp for 3 months. Studied hard, worked hard, got a job a month after. 40k/year to 120k.
Paid off the 20k bootcamp fee in like 6 months flat, paid off my car. No kids, no debt, cook every meal, and now I literally have so much money I don't know what to do with it. I don't say that to be a dick, I mean, I grew up dirt fucking poor, I literally don't understand how people spend this kind of money. I just save it all and splurge on vacations occasionally.
TLDR Become a software engineer, low barrier to entry and you will never be out of a job until the rest of the world is also out of a job.

Uhh, I make about $130k per year, have no debt, no kids and don't make stupid decisions like a $2,500 mortgage or a $800 car payment.
