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.

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,

And call your local tech schools. Some states have programs to fund tech certificates. For example, in Kentucky, or one has no income or poverty for a while, the CDL training is free without needing student loan type assistance. If you can get student loans, enroll in the cheapest college possible and max them out, then pay for a studio apartment somewhere cheap and save every dime, and use the 'address' to get a job that doesn't require local commutes resources -- like trucker. Utah used to be the political debates for having solved homelessness. I thought Utah gave apartments to homeless people? Or you coukd get a bachelors in social work and then a phd, live on loans and stipends for 6 years or so, and obtain a licensed occupation. Information technology/tech is a road to sadness and nobody in your position should aim at it

Give up on a career in IT. You will be wasting your education life. Get something with a license at the end where you can get a state job or something requiring the license. Like truck driver. Get a CDL and make your official home the cheapest studio apartment you can find in 1000 miles.
