You've clearly lived a very eventful life, that's for sure. Props to you for never holding back and taking your chances, I really admire that in people.
I wish you good luck in trying to make it in IT in the Bay Area.
Thank you for all the encouragement and your life story is very interesting. I will look into that udemy course, I don't know what I life out of life, honestly, other than a house and a source of income. I already have a LinkedIn account.
Man, living in a tent sounds like hell though!
