How are most passport bros able to fund their lifestyles overseas??

I agree mostly with everything you said.

After I completed my boot camp I realized I was only interested into niche sides of software engineering and cyber security. I lost interest in being a regular programmer making web apps or mobile apps.

The niche fields I wanted to break into were pretty hard to get into since not only did most job opportunities require a degree but you needed to be a really good programmer.

"No different than the American government marketing cybersecurity and AI because it needs people to compete with China. Most of the cybersecurity shit people end up doing is administrative work or at a SOC. Most people don't have the math background to seriously pursue AI work"

I'm seriously considering hopping into the military just to break into cyber security. Spoke to a few recruiters recently in the spaceforce, army and Navy. Took the asvab recently and scored high enough to qualify for army and Navy cyber. If I decide to join I gotta lose like 40lbs and get in shape.

Only thing making me hesitate is that I'm 27 and both the army and Navy require 6 year contracts. Spaceforce is offering atleast a 4 year one.

It's either this or I join the national guard to help pay for school while I pursue and engineering degrees for the next 3-4 years lool.

Join the military to do cybersecurity. Cybersecurity isn't an entry level field of IT/Computer Science and the jobs out there are for newbies are zero in the private sector.

You are better off joining the military, getting a guaranteed job and training. You are gonna spend a year training, so a 6 year contract is really 5. Space Force pays less than other branches.

You'll get out and have a decent base skills, possibly completed a BS and have a VA loan for a home. You can join the public sector as a cybersecurity professional on preferred veteran status and ride out the rest of your life as a government employee.

There ain't shit out here in the tech sector unless you are a top tier engineer. I wouldn't care about the age thing. You need a job.

I am saying nobody can go to a boot camp or come out of college and get a job.

The industry marketed "coding" because they needed grunt workers to build their apps and websites. Most of the coding people learned was web development. They were building apps and websites.

DevOps is about treating developers as customers and internally providing the infrastructure and tooling to devs. This speeds up the software development process.

Developers are more skilled now and adopted methodologies that include infrastructure, data and security engineering.

And the reason why we are moving towards infrastructure, data and security is because we are no longer building websites and apps.

We are building platforms that consume large amounts of data and we need to people that build these platforms and process the data to be interchangeable as software engineers, data engineers and security engineers.

Coding at this point is just a hobby lol.

Like you make clone websites on your spare time.

Coding/development = the same thing. "Coding" is just what the young folks all it. No different than "programmers" = "developers".

I started out programming 42 years ago, let it go for infrastructure about 25 years ago (Windows, Linux, Unix, AS400/iSeries, virtualization), added security about 16 years ago. I've seen it all and heard it all referenced by many names. Devs, Coders, Programmers... It's all the same shit. I've worked with them, I've worked as one, and I've had disdain for them when they fuck shit up. There are those that are building large scale platforms, but there's still a shitton of websites and applications being built daily; the company I work for is doing that right now.

Traveling abroad really isn't that hard if you're single and have a decent job.

Travelling once or twice a year prolly isn't the issue, but it seems some of them dudes stay gettin' passport stamps on the reg, but that could also just be social media smoke and mirrors.

If you do it right, you can go on some of these trips for 1K-2K. That's 5 to 10 trips a year for 10K. That's really not a lot if you're a single dude with a decent job that doesn't have a lot of other financial obligations.
 
That Instagram youtube shit is one thing... that's the new hollywierd . A bunch of make believe . If you interested in traveling set that to the side as it aint a real model

But for LESS than the price of a car note (2...3...4 500 a month) you can regularly touch the entire world in safe modern comfort

Depending on where you are its cheaper to fly , ride trains, or catch whatever the local version of uber is from nation to nation than it is to DRIVE from city to city or state to state in the US
 
Most of them are retired military or digital nomads.


Now, I'm not talking about social media when I say digital nomads...........I'm talking about people in the tech industry.

Mainly cloud engineers and the like.
 
Lol, I gotta homeboy who got like 5 kids, on his 2nd wife, but never takes them over seas with him.... Bro go like 3-4 times a year

She must not care or something, 'cause if I ever even thought about flying overseas at the very least my wife would have demanded to come if not her and the kids.
