The delayed payment boot camp option sounds optimal for you if you don’t think self-study would work for you. Make sure tech is interesting for you, there electrical, welding and plumbing “bootcamps” that pay well too.
I broke out of a dead end QA testing job and into DevOps by getting AWS certified and developing some Python skills. I have to continually update and upgrade my skills, online courses provide enough structure to keep me motivated for that. Not sure if that would work for you. Good luck!
I have a done a lot of technical computer things (minus coding) and its definitely interesting to me. I dont think I would like a high pressure FAANG type job but I think there is definitely a niche out there for me. Specifically writing programs for ideas I have or using python to do research/data science type stuff. I know I would like trade school but cant physically handle it.
