I love to program but I am a career switcher. All my professional experience is in logistics, I have a B.S but not in CS, also I am 41. By all means if you have any tip to get a H1B (I have heard is crazy competitive) let me know.

Why not Upwork? Or investing some time in studying up on digital marketing and building your own products?

It isn't easy but you should be able to clobber $5/hour. Two questions which my customers have never asked me:

- What school did you go to? - What country do you live in / are a citizen of...

Upwork rejected my resume some months ago. I am enhancing my portfolio to give it a shot again in the next weeks. I want to diversify my income so I have thought about producing digital products, but I need food-rent money now so that it is what I am prioritizing. I am also working on my Algorithms/Data Structures skills to try in TopTal, I dont know if you have any experience with them.
