I dont think theres bootcamps for petroleum engineering college level work and even if there was they would not get you hired so thats one example.

Something to think about: every time you go to a store and use the self checkout you are contributing to a person losing their job to automation.

Same thing for self-driving taxis. Every time you use one, you help put another taxi driver out of work.

I was referring to IT/programming skills.

The current housing trends tell the whole story: If you don't have a 6-figure salary, enjoy Red State America.

Ya good point but theres some blue states like New Mexico where you dont have to make 6 figures to live there.Also,some red states have areas where there's a a lot of 6 figure earners.I am a high-income earner and I would rather live in Texas than a blue state but hey thats just me.

NM's economy is horrible, plus nearly everybody with the same interests lives in either NYC, the SF Bay Area or Seattle, cities of which I can't afford.

I can't flee to another country unless I have a marketable skill (my degree is in geography, plus the tech skills I have were not learned in a formal college/university setting) or I marry someone who lives there.

There aren't enough educated white people in Texas to make a difference politically. POC have been shut out of the voting process, and uneducated whites are in complete lock-step with Abbott and Trump.

^^^if i were you i'd try south puget sound [washington state] outside of the major cities [esp. outside tacoma, olympia], you will find something affordable here, though you will have to commute a good distance for work [like an hour, chances are]. i do hope you consider it.
