After my recent post here about “What makes me start #programming”, A 13 years boy who was opportuned to read my post with his dad. He begged his dad to call me for guidance - That got me thinking.
I know you too you are wondering why the so much hype in learning #programming?
Programming is one of the ways you show your creativity without sweating(we call it soft work), even though it takes so much logic and creativity to do.
👉 It has great earning potential: One of the strongest and most obvious benefits of #learning programming is the earning potential for #programming professionals. Because of the high demand of programmers, their salary is high compared to other jobs. You can use google to check the salary level of a programmer, you would notice that the salary of programmers comes above-average salary.
👉 Programming gives a new perspective to solving problems: To be a #programmer you have to be a very creative and logical thinker(algorithms). Understanding logic, at a deep level, would improve your problem-solving skill tenfold. Learning programming has benefited me in my personal and professional life by encouraging me at times to take a step back and approach situations from a new perspective. I can break problems down into small, separate parts and figure out how each is affecting the other, - This helps me decide what area of the problem to focus on first.
👉Programming makes you become an entrepreneur: Programmers are not only limited to an employee but as a #Programmer you can start your own business and live your dream life. Nowadays, most of the products and services we use are digital. So, being a digital Entrepreneur or starting your business with digital products or services (SaaS - software as a service) is a good option. Just imagine you starting a business and have no money to invest in hiring the Programmer for building your app or website. You can do it by yourself if you know programming.
👉 You can be your own boss: You can work from wherever and whenever you want. If you don’t like a 9 to 5 job, then there are many other options for earning online in the Programming field. There are many tech giant companies which offer you to work for them from home(Remote). You can also work as a freelancer which is quite good. There are lots of top Freelance Jobs available and freelancers are charging thousands of dollars-based on the working hours. So, if you want to work remotely and independently, then #Programming is the option for you.
The benefits for programming are huge, the programming #community is one of the best communities ever. Races, region, culture is not a bearer. You have the opportunity to network with others all over the world.
In my next post, I would share how to start your programming career even though if you are a 9 to 5 worker
