Thank you.I realized back in 2007 there are four primary components to every computer system used since around 1970.
Unix/Linux now.SQLthe C programming language.and networking.
I have structured my education around those areas with success, but I didn't factor in the S1-B visa and its impact.
Just bought this book and will start to read it:

read this years ago, curious if anyone has heard of this:

But getting back the previous thread, what are the plans for 2023? There is plenty of money to go around. I propose a 12 month plan with each goal in 3 months or 90 days achievability.

Very thought provoking Greg!!
I think the number one position that I think is going to continue to
grow and outpace all others, no matter the economy, is probably cyber
security.
Not sure how I went down this path, however I have watched a number of
documentaries on hacking and getting a job in cyber security.
I find this stuff fascinating. One video talked about the Defcon hacker
convention in Las Vegas. Admission is in cash and your devices are
probably going to be owned. The video said the FBI was in attendance as
well.
I'm sure it is like anything else, some have natural talent to become
hackers.
One of the videos I watched stated China has a goal of being able to go
toe to toe with the USA by 2025. Scary thought.
I would not like to displace anyone with a program, however that might
actually cause them to learn some marketable skills.
I have a lot of stories. Around the summer of 1980 I went to a warehouse
to buy some stuff with my father. There were 4 people in the office.
One filled out the purchase request. One pulled the product and
probably updated the product ledger. And one person took my father's
money and finalized the sale. Very people intensive.
During that era computers were too expensive, however 5 or 6 years later
the commodore and garage 8088 cpu clones became available. At that
point I'm thinking I could replace several people in that warehouse with
a program that I would be able to create from scratch in just a couple
months. And this app would be able to give up the the minute info and
do things like determine seasonality and actual demand that could be
used to create safety stock.
Oh and to stay on track, If I were to write that program today it would
be a browser based PHP/MySQL app and might take me a little longer to
create because I would include a lot of AJAX. And of course it would run
on a LAMP server.
