Are you being too picky about what jobs you’ll take?

Code is like a super power. I started off as a sys admin, and started writing code and tools to make my life, and the life of my team, easier. That transitioned me into a software engineering role. It wasn’t fast, but I’ve had steady employment with consistent raises for nearly 20 years because of it.
