Work as a contractor. You can earn more than 100k, or well your LLC can. If you work a lot, you can make 16k a week. If more normal work day 2k-4k a week. You would have to deal with bureaucracy, taxes and administration though. It’s hard but there’s no artificial limit

What is the path to contractor work? How did you bootstrap your professional network, if I may ask?

Use your existing network or a project bidding site for projects. My network is still small
