Many times young web enthusiats ask whether web development and consulting is a worthy career and if its good enought to keep you going? These questions bug me cos we. Are yet to fully acknowledge the power and potentials in this career, especially in this country. I want to share briefly a few reasons why you should, if you ever wonder...
1. If you are computer or internet savvy person.
2. If you surf the web a lot and wonder how those sites are created.
3. If you are a young graduate and can't queue up for a job.
4. Because many Nigerian businesses still has no or very poor online presence. Over 50 million businesses to go. Who will develop their sites? YOU! 5. Because you will never run out of business and jobs to do because of the ever increasing presence of people and businesses in Nigeria, so you will always be needed.
6. If you desire to be self employed...
Add your if yours too

My questuon now is, are you one? And what's your experience like?

That is true.

yes i am one. I studied computer science and i always loved surfing the web back then. I started initially designing websites with frontpage as a hobby while in school then. I moved to dreamweaver with some knowledge of a few web programming languages and has kept on with the trend. Somewhere along the line i discovered i can make a lot out of this. I am CISCO certified in Networking but decided to fully pursue this web development during my final year in school. Since then i have had serious clientel, and made some cool cash but kept it on the low cos i had to round up studies. I had always wanted to work for myself so there is no better opportunity than this. With my years of experince which has been more than encouraging, knowledge, a great team of three, a registered company for serious business and grit, imagine how bright the future is...

Web Development is a worthy career. But not a short circuit for unemployment. If it is not your passion, forgerrit.
