you have to audit guests at random. you visit their rooms at night and there are questions you ask, collect information about them, receipts, etc.

it's like an IRS 'audit,' but it's not taxes. it's more a holistic 'lifestyle' inventory.

Yeah, I like it. Very chill, but I'm still learning a lot. I live in a higher cost of living city, so I wish I made a little more. Not a tech hub though, so I don't have great alternatives and not willing to do the rootless cosmo thing. Gotta count my blessings.

I actually got hired through a Hacker News monthly "who's hiring" thread. Not a great github, but a well designed portfolio page built from scratch, and I aced their coding interview project. Turns out their tech stack happened to align perfectly with what I had been studying/practicing with.

It's definitely not easy, but the payoff is huge. There are not a lot of paths where you can go from minimum wage to close to 6 figures in a year without any investment other than the opportunity cost of your current salary.

You really just need a portfolio of projects. Do 6 to 9 months of studying. Full time, 8 hours a day. Then spend another 6 months actually building something. It doesn't matter what it is, but put the source code up and start going to meetups and applying for jobs.

one just got fined in NYC for inflating employment. Flatiron School I believe. about 50% were what you would call gainfully employed for an average of $75,000 the rest were contract/temporary. that is horrible work in NYC when you consider the Unincorporated Business Tax and Obamacare. When I mean gainfully employed that can easily mean unlimited vacation (no vacation).

Good idea maybe 5-7 years ago. If I were to do it now would go to a real college I think Rutgers and Pace run OK bootcamps in NYC metro area.

Do you get free coffee at work? Are you able to sleep during the day? I liked working the night audit, but living nocturnally got old after a while.

Learn a trade and then get a masters in construction management while working. Become a project engineer/project manager on commercial construction projects.

Get a sales or tech recruiter job and work your way up

Get a certificate in something technical or do a boot camp. Get a PMP cert down the road and become a PM

Just learn a trade and become a master craftsmen. Those jobs aren't going to be outsourced.

Join the military and learn a skill there. You could pick up technical skills or position yourself for cop/firefighter gig when you get out

Take pre-req classes for PA school and become a PA

sales is unstable an not for everyone. The biggest thing is he needs to develop some technical skills. He literally has nothing to offer.
