My sister's husband is a software developer and frequently helps her with the technical aspects of her job. She has a degree in sociology. All she did to get her first job was a 6-month course or something like that. I guess now I understand how she was able to even make the switch in the first place.

Oh, and, coincidentally, a while ago she was also juggling a conflict of interest situation between a full-time employer and her own company. Amazing what people can accomplish if they're greedy enough haha

Thanks!

if a 6 months course lands you a crazy salaried job with almost no work why everyone isn't rich by now?
