Bo CeephusI would like to be able to code well enough that I can properly utilize the skillset to build what I want.
I have ideas, like websites and tools that I could use coding for.
I don't want to spill the beans but there is a couple projects I've thought about that would make for good business ventures.
It wouldn't just be for money, I could use it to integrate my own interests into businesses for myself.Coding at a software company could be a job I use to make ends meet In an office where im not tearing my body apart doing manual labor like my parents did and then use these skills to build projects that I want in my off-time.
These types of jobs pay very well even in my low income area. So learning how to code on a professional level would be invaluable for me.
I wouldn't have a mindless cog in the wheel for long, and while I am I would at least be financially stable in the short term while I work on my passion projects.Seems like you’ve thought this through, I would just add that no-code tools are becoming increasingly popular as well as outsourcing the building part to another country. People raising money now sometime dont even have the product built, and investors don’t care.
Anyway to go to SWE, three paths:
- go an undergrad (4y)
- do a diploma (2y)
- coding camp (> 6 months)
Coding camps are pretty good nowadays at setting you up for a job right after

YuzzyAgreed. I don't have the safety to do so yet since I'm only on my first real job, but in a few years hopefully I'll be in a similar spot to you and can leave
All the best

Nov 30, 2022·1 replyWhat was your breaking point? I'm not sure if you mentioned that already, but if you did let me know what page is it on.
I can't imagine quitting job that pays this much, I've worked wack jobs with bad pay and still sucked it up.
Nov 30, 2022Okay YeahOf course :)
Bet I’ll relocate when it’s up and running . Safe me a spot
Nov 30, 2022I got bored with coding in college. I enjoy doing Systems/Network Admin and Engineering. A lot more things to get hands on, plus I can put what I know with coding with it. I get to travel out and do field work whenever I want to too.
Nov 30, 2022Okay YeahThat sounds amazing, my company was in fintech, so it was EVEN more meaningless and soul sucking
i used to work in medical devices and am now looking for jobs in fintech hehe
i didnt really feel any fulfillment from the fact we were saving lives since i never really interacted with any customers/patients, it just felt like work and i was bored/burnt out at the end of my contract
later on in life i definitely want to become a teacher, that seems like the most fulfilling work to me
- Nov 30, 2022·1 replyOkay Yeah

U think you’d have felt better just switching companies somewhere with a better culture and reasonable hours?
- Bernie X 🙊Nov 30, 2022·1 replyOkay Yeah
Why? It’s depressing and unfulfilling and just doing it for the money will give you golden handcuffs that will make you hate your life and be unable to do anything about it either
