I cleared 113k last year + 13k bonus. I am a software engineer - probably one of the best field to get into if you're conflicted and like tech

How the hell do you even get into this field. I've been looking for 3 months now and really no one offers entry level positions.
It's normal for a "jr." position to require years of experience.

"Entry level" positions list 20 different other things e.g.:
Entry level Java developer:
Experience with PHP, HTLM5, CSS, JavaScript, NoSQL, .net 4.0, and the list continues a bit longer.
More like "Entry level one man orchestra".

You really just have to work on independent projects to get the ball rolling. For me, I did mobile app development and networked at hackathon's and other tech-related events. Once you start, it kind of snowballs and before you know it, you have 1-2 years experience. I would also recommend interning at a start up

Based on your Visual Studio icon, i'm guessing you are in C# and .NET programming? If not, what language do you code in? Thanks

That's my main, but lately I've been working in HTML/CSS/JavaScript. Both stacks are in pretty high demand.

Like how did you start exactly. I heard "work on independent projects" before, but no one ever told me where exactly.

Not the first time a question died after asking for specifics.
