Only a few options:
>Work for a not-publicly traded software company

>Think up some niche useful application, write it, and sell it.
>Develop a small vidya thing, put it on Steam/Switch, and pray
>Learn car programming/electronic repair, especially for vehicles from 2005-2017 or so, as they're no longer made but need repairs regularly.
>Learn programming for some other obsolete system used at your local power plant or something that will never get replaced.
>Become l337 h4ck3r and take over some major infrastructure
