what you did was pretty much what my friend did in his 20s.. took the low hanging fruit.
at the time him working for a prominent university library was all the rage.. while i was still wearing a security gaurd uniform.
but guess what.. i was studying C++ at my security podium and finagled getting hired right out of that uniform and into a programming job for global financial institution as my first job no degree.
the rest is history.. ive built robots, automated vertical gardens, web applications, Enterprise Application integrations, rolled private clouds with everything from VMWare, to Openstack , to Kubernetes.
