Have you thought about embracing the learn to code meme?

Do you want me to give you my copy pasta for it?

I'm too far in my business administration degree to switch to a computer science major without wasting the time and money I've already spent. I'm also not that good with math. I'd never be able to compete with the mathlete anons here or with the zoomers growing up now entirely engrossed in tech.

You don't need one for the blue collar coding work

>I'd never be able to compete with the mathlete anons here or with the zoomers growing up now entirely engrossed in tech.
If you do blue collar coding such as website and apps you will not make the upper end income of $200k+ with equity bonuses.

But you could make $80k, there by doubling your income.

This Week In Startups. Keep up to date with the cutting edge of tech from and investing lens

I recommend learning js and node.js so you can do both front end and back end.
Front end I recommend React.js cause Facebook actually uses it on their site.

The big trend coming up is called "serverless"
If your willing to take some risk learn this

TLDR on serverless
Build apps that only cost money when people actually use them.

Using Amplify I built a CRUD app in like 3 hours with nested object models and authorization.

Glad to help fren

my tip is to start watching and coding the freecodecamp stuff on basic html as that will give you confidence.

https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/responsive-web-design/basic-html-and-html5/

Then listen to podcasts about coding because you will see the people who do magical coding things are just as confused as you are but just about more complicated problems.

>>16002679
I've never really listened to podcasts. Any recs?

>I've never really listened to podcasts. Any recs?
This is a good javascript podcast
https://devchat.tv/js-jabber/
To understand how unpredictable the software industry is listen to how the most popular language in the world JavaScript was written in 10 days and basically had no shot at becoming as big as it is today.
https://devchat.tv/js-jabber/124-jsj-the-origin-of-javascript-with-brendan-eich/

Once you get more comfortable coding listen to podcasts about the technology you are going to code with, for example React.js podcasts.

Also there are youtube channels that show conference recordings
This channel aggregates them

Coding is a big topic but if you treat it as a hobby you'll start to see patterns and that eventually you'll see all coding is a set of instructions given to a computer, kind of like a recipe for making a cake.

Theres a reason this is a crypto board Anon, its the most difficult market to understand, which also makes it have to most potential to make money. Understand crypto and you can see 100x gains. Most of us who "seem to be succeeding in business" just bought LINK which is up like 1200% since i bought it. Just dont get scammed by pajeet. Godspeed.

>>16003028
You're a good man anon. I'm saving and will start studying the material you posted. You're one of the reasons this board needs to exist

>>16002240
Just remember it could be worse. I'm basically in your situation except I cant go back to school and manual labor jobs are all I can get.

>>16002240
Become a banker and live on 60k/yr. It’s really not as bad as some say.

Is it too late for me to make anything in crypto?

>>16003697
Why can't you go back to school?

>>16003707
Aren't bankers becoming obsolete?

I WILL BE SUCCESSFUL.
I WILL BE HAPPY.
I WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO ACHIEVE MY GOALS.

REPEAT UNTIL YOU BELIEVE IT ANON.

self taught programmer here. dont start this shit unless you never want to see another girl at work again. nights and weekends youre fucking wiped from the mental hamsterwheeling required by this profession. shekelberg will wring you dry. at night, you will barely have energy to go to the gym, make dinner, and watch 1 show, let alone try to make a business or whatever.

pick something else, where you develop social skills and work with (some) women. or something mentally easy where you can do whatever you want nights and weekends.

personally after 1 year i quit and am programming shit for my self. its true that programming is basically the only profession where a poor fag can become +10 millionaire within 5-10 years, so theres that

Lower your living expenses, find ways to obtain more money, invest the money you save in gradual increments as it comes in. Stop consuming and spending unnecessarily.
