Ask HN: Do you make your own PCBs? If so, how?

Curious to see if anyone has a good CNC milling machine that's "cheap" and works very well with PCB boards. Do you have another method that is fast, easy, and clean?

Basically the title. I'm 27 and am not in a relevant field. The job is great, but I just want to be part of more important things. If I change my time horizon to, say, 3 years, is it possible for me to get sponsored to get a job in tech in the US? I have a bit of relevant experience in Python from computational physics courses and labs (lots of work with numpy and scipy). My plan: - Finish cs50, (currently week 4) - Finish freecodecamp (currently done most of JS) - Then from there I have a huge list of courses and am unsure of what to focus on. E.g. cs50x for react native, cs193p from stanford, leetcode projects, project euler (I have about 20 done), I've found a bunch of courses on MIT OCW for algorithms and data structures. Writing it out now, it seems a bit scattered as I'm not sure what exactly I would need to get a position as a data scientist or software developer at say, Google.
