1. Give up dream of tech. 2. Call local tech schools and ask about rapid certifications and sponsorship programs like Kentucky has for CDL training doe people experiencing privation 3. Live on student loans working toward a licensable occupation in which graduate degrees benefit you, such as social work, nursing, teaching, paralegal 4. Live on loans either in a dorm or get the cheapest studio apartment around. 5. You can't eat pride, just get a long term plan for a room and burgers on demand.

6.GIVE UP YOUR FANTASY OF TECH. A bachelors in IT is worthless. They don't even care about certs anymore after the DEI culture shift. They destroyed the lower levels to hand take the future from Americans and give it to Indians. There is no way to build up the initial skills sets because the number in the top of the pyramid is declining. It will take years to rebel against Microsoft's attempt to hold all private information. Give up It. 7. Your kids need a dad with a plan doe a room and burgers. Pride is worthless. Become a social worker and save 50 percent of your student loans for six years.

  Best wishes man,

There's a reason there are a lot of highly qualified people from India in tech. It's because their government actively created affordable high quality higher education in these fields. Rather than say this is because "Indians" maybe you should ask why your government didn't invest in affordable modern education systems in order to compete.
He has written elsewhere that he has 10 years experience.
I had five years experience and a bachelors degree and had to work for ten bucks an hour in a grocery store and 12 an hour as a barista. That is what the H1B program is for -- destroying the futures of people born here so they off themselves.
He is the living embodiment of the results of the H1B program.
And he is homeless and can't find a full time job so my point stands proven.
