learning to code (3 month course) will land you a 70k job

Coding isn't for everyone. Either you love it or you hate it. If you can code though, you'll be employed rather easily.

I would say develop, most people don't code unless their newbies or at a start-up.

It's a good start. It had a lot of shyt I did in school but way more condense

Yea it's definitely bigger, doesn't spoon feed you like codeacademy so you have to do a little googling every now and then.

I've been hearing the freecodecamp certificates are legit as far as merit is concerned. Some of them are lengthy though, 800 hours on the projects alone, but it's good to know people in the workforce take it seriously

The sheer size of it lets people know that you'll have more than a passing familiarity with the topics if you make it through all the certificates.

I advice everyone to do freecodecamp. Quincy is good at what he does. If you live in a metro, they have weekend meetups on facebook. You can buy books if you get stuck. For the most part, I enjoyed it but I didn't really care to code.

That's where you start, though.

Been coding since 2008....

Medical Laboratory Sciences. In the US, there are severe shortages in the workforce due to new (higher) standards for certification and education. It is something that has well paid positions at multiple levels of degrees, although Associate and Bachelor are the most common.

Get a job that actually has human value

Those ain't easy bro you talking about a histotech? Or something like that? They work with pathologist and make around 70k.

It won't. It's borderline over-rated. Genuinely think there's more money learning how to design

No there isn't

Lol, coding academy premium is 20$ a month, foh

What they don't tell you in those stats is this.

They don't count the people who wash out of the camps, so of course its 97% of people. The rest were kicked out for poor performance.

If you get a job making $40k a year, they count that as a win. If one person gets an 80k a year job, they can put it on the books.

A lot of the people going in there already have degrees. Meaning they are college educated changing careers.

You have to really really really really like solving problems with a different way of thinking.

I figured out that I really like front-end stuff and I'll probably stick with that (HTML,CSS,Javascript).

Don't quit your day job just yet. You better dabble first.

And the folks clowning @bdizzle



Dude put in so much work in that sticky thread, he was the reason I got my A+ to begin with

Got an interview Tuesday

Breh these threads are the always the same group of nikkas who don't know nothing bout nothing running their mouths. It's why when you ask them specific questions like how many years experience they have or what projects have they worked on they start getting their Juelz Santana on.

Like I always tell y'all in the other thread, be careful of who you take advice from and ask them how much money they're making (and receipts) before you listen to shyt they gotta say. Which is why I always post receipts for my shyt.

When I was coming up (2001-2002) they had the same hustle: take a 3 month class, get your MCSE, then make 70k/yr with zero experience. I just said fukk it and let these nikkas spend 10k and learn the hard way

You see the same shyt in the entrepreneurship threads. You got nikkas who never sold anything to anyone ever trying to give advice on how to start and run a business

It won't. It's borderline over-rated. Genuinely think there's more money learning how to design

no there isn't unless you are full stack developer and do both. Also unless you specialize in something, you are going to need years of experience before getting a decent job for or programming. I recommend back end and front end web/server stuff.

 

[K.Dot]

Do coders have to sit in front of a computer all day and type? Wouldnt that make you go insane?

no, enjoy it, coming off a factory jobs, I'm like

 

[K.Dot]

Definitely, what @Tunez said.
HTML5, keep it up with CSS, then get a book on basic JavaScript.
Check out CodeAcademy and Khan Academy.
Keep up the work, it'll start to make more and more sense as you get deeper and deeper.

Python is the goat starting language

Why did you tag @bdizzle ? He gets money lol

Breh I gotta voicemail for a position last week paying $85/hr that I ignored because I didn't want to do the 40 minute commute. Ask these cats to start posting their receipts and they'll type up the Gettysburg Address without answering any of your questions
