Slang website builds on Craigslist nigga

You build your portfolio and go programmer mercenary mode. You sell your skill to the highest bidder on short term contracts. Realistically you'll end up bouncing between IT departments and helping out startups for the rest of your life.

Codemonkey work.
You get hired at a large firm, get slapped onto a team, and work in C#/Java while writing simple SQL queries for the rest of your life, developing useless addons to big budget software

Anything you can monetize can make a little scratch. Stack those up until you're making a living.

But if you want reliable work, desu there is nothing reliable in this world and especially not IT today. Get a skill like actual blue collar skills such as plumbing, carpentry, etc. Those will be around when the economy blows the fuck up and all the fancy desk jobs go overseas to where the cheap labor is.

Be an asset that can't be replaced or taken out of the country. That's the only way to have any kind of security.

How does geek squad fit with any of that..

Blue collar means working with your hands so unless you count slouching over a keyboard or carrying some cables around there is no blue collar in CS.

Yep this. You find obscure very boring lifetime niches in some enterprises, especially outside of the tech sector, maybe healthcare in particular. I used to work at this medical device company and the whole core of the company runs on this very obscure very antiquated terminal based platform. Old dudes sit around programming on this shit that is essentially BASIC that compiles to java. They never stop using it, and the developers are old and just collecting an easy paycheck until they retire.
