My employer is hiring people straight out of bootcamps for more than that and we are a low cost-of-living area. Maybe the lack of a degree isn't your problem. Maybe you need a change of scenery?

Comparing yourself to others can be painful.

I'm not STEM (I think people on HN forget that we aren't all coders or theoretical mathematicians) and have no interest in coding. I'd rather put my fist into a wood-chipper than write code. The few times I've tried to tackle coding I've felt like I was (what I assume) having a stroke and did nothing but make me feel like an idiot and wonder how anyone could possibly think like that. Writing a hello world in qbasic was pushing my sanity.
