Studying Programming

 

1. Worked in another job before Should I switch to programming now?

2. Is it okay if I start now because of my age?

I've talked about this two or three times before, but I think it's necessary to say it again when there are so many questions, so I want to say it.

The first thing I would like to say is that programming work has many study opportunity advantages that are different from other jobs.

Not only are there plenty of resources to study, If you can really do it, it is enough science that you can do self-study from beginning to end. In other sciences, it's not easy to study yourself from beginning to end and reach a professional level.

So, I'm talking about myself, but I want to tell you to encourage the observers. I am a computer university, He was not allowed to attend technical universities. I have attended some courses, but mostly I have come to this situation through self-study. If you wonder if it is possible, I want to say that it is possible.

This job is like other jobs in big factories, big hospitals large courtrooms After getting a job in a big business, It is not something that can be mastered after entering. If you have a computer and the Internet, you can study to a professional level.

In terms of job opportunities, it is the same way that big companies are not allowed to enter. If you have the right skills, you can access countless job opportunities from around the world right from your home. Others are working remotely because of the virus. Programmers have been doing it for a long time.

I am also a Remote Freelancer. employee Self-employed, etc. step-by-step I have worked in various ways. Here, setting up your own business is an important consideration. In other sectors, setting up your own business may require good capital and other requirements. In the field of programming, if you have two or three good minds, you can set up world-class businesses in your garage. These are not myths. Real events.

- I will answer the first question, "Should I change the line?"

Programming is easy to learn if you're interested, and as fun as it is, it can be crazy if you're not. Ask those who are currently doing it. They keep doing it because of their passion. It is always new and changing and requires constant learning.

You should not switch lines just because of a job opportunity. It's true that job opportunities are good, but if you don't have the necessary interest and time to study, it's hard to do. If it doesn't really happen, I have to invest my time in other work. The scriptures are to be spared.

If you are really interested in science, you should change. As I said above, I believe that there are plenty of things to study, but I really give time, Because nothing is impossible if you study with interest and focus.

So, as a summary answer to the question of whether you should change your major, I would like to say, "You shouldn't change based on job opportunities. If you are really interested in science, you should change."

- I will answer the second question, whether "from now on" is okay according to age.

Young people have advantages. family responsibility Children's responsibility Since they don't have the responsibilities of living, they can devote themselves to learning. They can also be more enthusiastic.

Older people are not weakened by age. family responsibility Children's responsibility Because of their livelihood responsibilities, they have weakened their ability to devote time to learning. People are not strong anymore, No more head.

Knowing this fact, not only Work-Life Balance, If only Work-Life-Study Balance can be adjusted. It's not age that's really a hindrance. Only if you have the time to study with a cool head. If you give it, it is not impossible.

Older people also have advantages. Programming work is not just sitting and writing code. relationship Work management is also needed. Young people are weak in this area, and experienced people may be able to achieve faster success with the help of this advantage.

And a computer program cannot be trusted to write code. I know how to write hospital software because I know about hospitals. I know how to write business software. Knowing about the factory, I can write software for the factory. This is called Domain Knowledge.

Those who have previously had other work experience here, The advantage of the elderly again. Previous experiences are not free, but domain knowledge will be useful again.

If we look at all of these things, we can sum up whether it is possible or not based on what we have learned so far. Young people have their advantages, and those who are rich in age and experience also have their advantages.

So I will be interested, If you have the time, do it. I would like to say that there is no such thing as impossible.
