            1 Mindset
Dedicate a year to do it.
A Place that guarantees for a $22,000 tuition you will find a $50,000 year job if

You apply for 10 jobs a week (520 in that year)
Reach out to 10 professionals a week (520 in that year)
Post at least 5 git hub contributions a week (260 in that year)

2 Location
Remote work is it's own thing.
For actual work at a business the wages have a lot to do with cost of living. Many markets pay less than 100k, and that has to be balanced against cola.

Multiple times per day if possible, but at lest once a day
Keep political/cultural out of it.
