That is what is known as a shitty job.

I make about 70k, $1,000+ per week after tax.

$12/hour is not a living wage, learn to code or live like that forever.

what are you coding in

Currently Java, PHP, Perl, Javascript, Go and C++ mostly. Best way to find good gigs: Headhunter Agencies, they get paid when you get hired. If you know C/C++, the rest are ez-pz. Hard to find C++ gigs these days though. Learn em all! Web stuff is really hot for some weird reason, most companies dont really do actual Dev, they do websites, I guess thats why. SQL is a must have for any gig though.

thanks for your feedback, got a SQL lesson/course recommendation?

Anything on udemy (for SQL)is decent, SQL is really easy once you get the hang of it. This one teaches PostgreSQL but SQL will work (generally) for all the flavors (SQLite, MySQL, MsSQL, etc). Cheap and can knock it out in a weekend.

To really get to know it well, I'd do the course to get a start, then make a website (to use the database a bit) and my favorite for that is PHP. I learned PHP on a whim from a single book "Wicked Cool PHP Scripts" from NoStarch Press, great book that showcases the power of PHP well. You'll also want to install linux, usually on a pi or a shell account or in a VM to be the host for all the stuff (Web, DB, Scripts, Etc). Have Fun!

Thanks brother, I'm fairly well-introduced to coding and what not, so should be easy for me to learn. Do you really think the industry would hire someone with the skills but no degree? I don't know seems a little to optimistic for me, at any rate it will be a good skill to have thanks!

I dont have a degree, so yep I definitely do think so :)

They hire passion and even if they dont notice that, the greedy bastards will hire because we are in short supply (hard core coders are not found everyday, everyone CLAIMS they can code, then you find out they know squat.) I wont lie though it helps to have experience, I had to barge in through Tech Support -> QA and then quit to go work elsewhere as a bonafide programmer. If you can do websites and have a good resume, you'll get in after a few interviews. Military Service opens a lot of doors too and I had that so I worked it.

really good stuff

It was a formatting issue, copy and paste from the notepad app. Nothing wrong with my grammar but there is something wrong with my tech knowledge lol. Thanks though.

Change your circumstances. You live close to niggers, you're trading away your life for $12 per hour, and you've put yourself in a situation where a sexual degenerate is instructing you in how to be...

You first need to decide you're not going to accept the kind of life you're describing.

move to a nicer more rural place.. better quality of life. Cities are shit these days.

I am starting to see the wisdom in that advice. Moving out of the city is not easy since one becomes dependent on the city over time, but it is possible.

Start planning your way out of the city.
