If you wanted to work as a self-employed software developer, starting from scratch, what route would you take?

I read a post saying that self education is basically dead in this area?

But if not - what free, online learning platforms and pathways are the best these days?

(And also, by work - I don't necessarily mean jumping straight into earning the equivalent of a full time wage, but maybe even just as a paid hobby)

I'm considering commencing a trade in tiling - however I have a concern when it comes to dust inhalation and what can be done to mitigate any negative health impacts from it (my parents knew a career tiler who developed lung cancer and lost half a lung and it's likely that it was from occupational dust exposure over the years).

My first question is - is it even possible to reduce all risk/exposure to dust or at least significantly reduce it?

And my second question is - what do you personally do? For example is it feasible to work in a respirator for long periods/or for all periods during exposure to dust?
Or would that be just too cumbersome and you'd get no where? And you just have to accept that some dust is going to be an occupational risk?
Thanks

Do people generally find employment in mining after it?
Or is it extremely difficult to find a job after it/a waste of time and money?
