The world is changing
Why should you consider programming as your future job?
Is it really that hard?
--
In the times when more and more businesses is moving to the virtual world, a need for people who will actually do that transition and maintain virtual businesses is getting higher every day - meaning, programmers are in demand, more and more each day.
Lots jobs are getting obsolete - machines are taking over people’s jobs.
So, if you wanna be safe in the next 20 years or so(until machines learn how to maintain them selves 😄), you can do programming. It’s not really the rocket science.
In the text below, I will try to cover few topics, that most of the people are wandering about:
Are programmers geniuses?
I’ll take myself as an example. When I did the first programming test, in the first year of Computer Engineering, from maximum 100 points, I scored - what do you think?
minus 2 :)
I was a total programming failure(for some people) and they were telling me to consider switching to something else.
I didn’t, of course. I bought a book called C for dummies, and that’s how my love for programming started.
Programming takes time, and some brain of course, but if you’re willing enough to learn it, invest a few years of your time in it, it will be well worth the wait.
You should probably be good at math. Not every human should be a programmer.
Where/how to start?
The most important thing when starting to learn programming is to have a good mentor, or a teacher - someone who will point you in the right direction. Yes, you can learn to program just by googling, but I suggest you not to do it like that. Googling can be useful after you have a solid knowledge of programming. In fact, I google every day, lots of times…
