Student developers were polled via 80 spring 2016 hackathons to asses how they feel about their career options. Some of the key finding were:
- 83% of students said they were looking for fulfilling careers, rather than simply for jobs.
- Students plan to stay an average of 2.9 years at their first full-time job.
- Students predict that they'll stay at later jobs for 5 years on average.
- Students expect to earn between $70–150K right out of school.
Details of the Devpost study can be found here.

It's a good plan. You're right about experience and age, or at least they won't mind it. (can't get 30 years experience from a 22-year-old)
Factory automation ought to work for you. If you can find a defense contractor that won't expect you to get a clearance, that would be excellent. The innards of machinery ought to work for you.

All I was told is that the primary contractor worked for "The Client". The Client wanted "The Boards" from the primary contractor. I did a completely unclassified subcomponent whose mil-spec you can FTP from an Air Force base.
I speculate I know who The Client is. I won't say, because then The Client would have me sent to GitMo.
There's lots of defense industry in the Portland/Vancouver area, for example Sikorsky makes helicopter interiors here. It's just that those folks don't advertise on Craig's List.
