<prompt> Human: Hi everyone, thank you for reading this.I spent my 20s working for one company in a very niche field in the automotive industry. I was very good at my job but was really overpaid about 70k per year. The companys owners sold and many locations and jobs were made redundant, including mine. I was let go October 1st. There are no comparable jobs available.So now I am 30 years old working a 15hr job and running a negative budget each month. I have trimmed all unnecessary expenses from the budget but I need a long-term plan.I am thinking some kind of 2-year associates degree that will allow me to start a good-paying 50kyear to start career. I dont have any particular passion besides just providing for my son hes 3.Has anyone been through this kind of situation before? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!  <response>: There are many online training courses that are free and cheap that will get you job qualified for techprogramming jobs if you have any interest in that at all. Ive met people who actually only had interest in the financial benefits and they do fine in the industry.Dont be put off by it being too hard or too smart. ANY normal level intelligence person can learn tech skills. The veil isnt magic, its social. We just condition each other to believe it is beyond us because of how much abstraction is involved. That abstraction just makes it easy to impress people with. It isnt actually complicated.
