Why on earth would you seek out backbreaking labor when you could learn a few programming languages via a boot camp, get some certs, build a few projects in GitHub, and make $80k a year?

Programming certs are oversold and over-rated, plus you have to compete with some kid out of India who performs the same task at 1/3 the cost. Good luck getting work with Google without having a math, CS or engineering degree.

You don't need to work at FAANG to be gainfully employed in the tech sector. Or even be able to code for that matter.

Nobody is asked to break their back at BIW there are plenty of machines available to do the heavy lifting
