If you can get a salesforce cert, you can get any of the other baseline IT certs. Being a female and being native is actually massive for hiring at companies that care about that stuff.
Apply for government IT jobs, help desk type stuff, a lot of it is hybrid or remote, if it’s a hybrid position, ask to be remote for the first month (two paychecks) to manage moving.
Six months in, open a business, ask your company to switch you to 1099, route the job through your business, work it for another year, this creates a performance history.
Now you are a poor, native american woman owned small business, and you can apply for 8A set aside contracts as the prime. This allows you to take 10% or so off the top when teaming with a large company that will actually staff the thing. Grow to around 40 employees, sell for 5-10mil in 15 years.
It’s not honest work, but lots of people have done this. If you think I’m full of it, I literally worked on a contract where one of the companies on the winning team was called “Native American Woman”.
