Honestly, you don't need a degree to make money It's super easy to earn writing halfway decent content, etc

What are some of your core skills? Are you good at tech, do you have a portfolio?

know a little bit of frontend (html, css, js) & little bit of analytical skills (Python, SQL, Excel),

problem is where to reach out, because traditional companies expect a degree

Your number 1 step should be having a portfolio, followed by a LinkedIn profile, followed by a CV
Cold DMs work wonders, especially in the Web 3 or startup industry
I'm sure companies like Infosys, etc would not hire you, but new age companies would
Once you've built your profile, try seeking people who are working in the tech field without any fancy degrees
I know Blockchain developers who've built their own companies with just a BCA degree and I know a psychology major who is the Head of Developer Relations at a company at the age of 23

Traditional route -
Start by identifying what kind of a job you want (in office or remote) then identify which potential companies you would be interested in working with and start applying, maybe reaching out to people for referrals
