How do I get started in the tech industry coming from an unrelated field Are there any real pay to learn opportunities??
For the better part of a year I have been learning HTML, CSS, Javascript, Python, and Swift. I am still relatively novice but Im learning quickly. The trouble is that I cant dedicate enough time to truly practice my skills because I am too busy at my other job. I am in a position in my life to be able to make the jump into tech at an entry level or lower job position if need be. Meaning I dont need a high paying position, I just need something to get my resume started and allow me to focus more time on building my portfolio. I have a background in Construction management and experience in industry standard computer programs like Excel, Word, Outlook, and various CRM tools. Are there any job titles that I can look for that will allow me to get my tech career started with what experience I have?

What is the tech industry like? What technical / soft skills are needed in the field? How can I prepare myself in such a oversaturated field??
I'm an sophomore majoring in computer science and data science. I basic knowledge in python, java, web development, sql, and swift.
