Is there any full time remote job that makes over 75k/year that you can obtain the education (cert) for within 6 months?
This is a difficult question because pay is going to be dependent on location/company/type of job. Your prior experience and field of interest also play a big part. The time it takes to complete a certification can depend on how much time you dedicate to studying and if there are prerequisites.
What type of work have you done so far and what areas interest you?
Im in finance/accounting. Specializing in oil and gas. Tech/certs would be a completely new field for me.

If you can program with that skill, I'd be surprised you couldn't find a remote job for that pay.
If you have certs, make sure you have a portfolio too.

You could look at Business Analyst certs. It's more about applying business knowledge and analytic strategy to projects. The technical piece comes in with the systems or languages you'll be using to implement the strategy.
Here are two articles I found that may be helpful:

Without having any tech experience, I think it would be good because you need just as much business/industry knowledge to be an effective BA. You can learn languages like SQL, python, SAS, etc once you've been in the role. You could also use it to break into a more technical discipline.

How can you get into contracting on the business side? I'm currently in the military and I'm working on my PM cert but looking for post-military opportunities and contracting opened my curiosity.
As someone who was a BA for almost 5 years this is good advice

my answers in boldedwhat is the typical week like for a BA?
What are the working hours? - 35 hours a week (however ive worked as much as 55-60 hrs a week at certain points...not by choice either)
What do you like best and least about this field? best - seeing my solutions come to life and being able to prove improvement based on metrics; worst - dealing with certain members of the client base when you need requirements or a sign off...some were rude, pushy, and condescending)
What's the career timeline or trajectory? My career trajectory: Intern > Contractor > Product Support > Project Coordinator > Business Analyst Manager
What industries or companies do you work for? I worked in the credit card industry
What are the key traits, characteristics, or abilities to do well in this field? - Be able to be jack of all trades and be able to flexible to learn things quickly to apply them to what the client/company is looking for. You don't have to be super technical but it doesn't hurt to pick up something here and there.
How the salary? My starting salary was almost 100K and it got up to about 130K. I had year end bonuses from 7K to 30K during that time. That job leveled me up financially something serious.
