I went to a gold rush and started selling shovels. We temporarily went to SF and I got a contract on a team building some reporting backend for low hourly rate.

I went to a gold rush and started selling shovels. We temporarily went to SF and I got a contract on a team building some reporting backend for low hourly rate. It was a job I wouldn't have been able to get in my home state and after a few months, I was able to springboard back into my industry in a purely technical role. I'm not sure where the gold rush is now, but sooner or later there will be another one, somewhere.
