Do not learn programming!

If you ask anyone which specialty and field is the best in terms of money, work and job opportunities, the answer of the majority is <programming>!

Its advantages include high money and flexibility that you can work from anywhere in the world. You go to YouTube and the Internet to talk about the benefits and opportunities available for programming.

But the important and main question is: is it right for you to enter the world of programming ?! Is programming close to your lifestyle and personality ?! Is it useful or harmful that you will only waste your time and money ?!

Here are five things to keep in mind when it comes to forgetting about programming! Because programming will be harmful to you and you can enter other fields and specialties that will earn you more success and money.

1. If you are a person who does not like progress and learning!

This field and expertise needs the most updates and upgrades. You need to update your skills day by day. And you have to be Self Learning and learn and progress without the need for a teacher and mentor. You must be proficient in English to be able to easily use all available resources. In a word, if you are looking for Stability, then do not go for it!

2. If you are a creative and imaginative person!

If you are a person who is going to implement new ideas and is always looking for genius, and you like to implement your fantasies and ideas, then programming will not lead you to this goal.

Because programming may be a simple task for you, for example, working in a company where other people in relevant positions, design ideas and scenarios, and you just have to implement it. That means you are just coding. If you are someone who is not waiting for a task that you just do and can not cope with the pressure and stress of work, then do not go to coding. Look for graphics, product manager and marketing. You will progress in them strangely.

3. If you are a person who likes to make money fast!

It is true that if you specialize in this field, you will make good money, but the problem is that this goal requires enough time. You have to learn and gain experience and move in this direction step by step.

At least 6 months of continuous learning and work and effort is estimated. If you spend at least 6–8 hours a day during this period, you can enter the income generation stage.

If you are in a hurry and like to travel several years overnight, then programming is not for you. My advice to dear students is to seek to learn a specialty during their studies and gain experience so that they can reach the desired income more easily and quickly at the time of graduation.

If you want the field of Software and you want to enter the revenue phase faster, I suggest you Software Testing or Ui Developer.

4. If you are a person who is old and does not know anything about the world of freelance!

It is not true that if you are old you can not learn programming because programming helps all aspects of one’s life.

But the problem is that most companies are looking for a younger or older workforce with more experience. So you do not have a special chance to be hired and you have to enter the free and free world, which also requires enough knowledge to communicate with the customer and …. If you do not know these things, then do not waste your time on coding. you can follow another feilds like ERP Consultion, Business Analyst, Consultation. You will get results faster and you can use all the experience you have gained over the years and have a decent job. Consider that Software is not just coding!

5. If you are a person who has an idea to produce a product and you are going to have a plan to compete and implement it in the market to compete!

If you have an idea like Uber, Amazon, … and you think that with 6 months of learning programming you can implement it and build a business to compete with existing examples, you are sorely mistaken!

All successful products have a successful team consisting of different specialists with different positions. You can not enter this competition alone.

Assuming you build and market the product, who will be in charge of support, marketing, business and deployment issues? Will you be involved in coding or something else ?!

Learning business is not an easy task at all and requires experience and time, so you try to leave things to a team and move forward like a businessman with rich mindset and put aside your poor mentality.

And last: It does not matter what people compliment you on and encourage you to do it, it does matter what you like most about it and are comfortable with it and trust it, and if you follow it you will soon become your best self. Because it will suit you and your personality.

So focus only on yourself and your progress in the direction you like and are comfortable in making the best possible thing, not the thing that makes you the best.

Thanks for reading! And if you enjoyed it, gimme a clap
