Where to start? Help!

Hi All 👋. Special ed teacher here desperately seeking a way in to the tech industry asap.

So many new things to learn and not sure of the best first step to take. Would anyone be willing to share their origin story?

My hope is to gleam a bit of guidance from those who have successfully broken into tech from other professions without attending an expensive and time consuming college degree course or bootcamp. I love teaching myself, but am having trouble navigating a clear path to a career in tech.

Any thoughts on entry level positions to get me started? Or short courses that have proven to be useful?

All feedback is welcome and appreciated.

Thanks friends.
