First, skill sets for computer programming need a college degree to get hired (along with 2+ years work experience). So for a field like that it is not easy money. What you can do is look for another field, like farming or construction, where it's almost an evergreen niche in most cases. People who have money will pay for what they "feel" they want / desire. A farm can easily be profitable if you ignore bottom out pricing and go for top quality organics. You can make a fuck ton of money just from being able to "feed" things. I say things because some ppl fail to realize you can sell feed for animals, etc. You need to be shrewd and tireless. What you may think is not worth your time, can be profitable. No matter what country you live in, ppl with money want to eat. People with money want their houses fixed. People with money want wood from quality trees, or to save money on the solar panels they desire to install, etc.
TLDR? STF... and go out and be shrewd and find yourself a gold mine no one else can see, even if its situational like a short period of time someone needs a cheaper food service, at that period you would step in and provide the food a slight bit cheaper, and still make money on it for your more expensive organics later on.
