Okay, thank you. I want to ask if you can guide me on this? Bcuz I seriously need a guide as this will be me switching from my field to computer but I am ready to switch because of my passion for it.

The truth is that it won't be easy. I have been trying to become a programmer for long now. And I have had my fair share of troubles. But I am still grinding. What you need now is a side[b] hustle[/b] to keep food on your table or a very understanding and dependable family that is ready to support you. The next step is finding what you really love. Is it web development or android app development or working with OS or networking or data analytics or Design(UX/UI). The list is endless but the truth is with time data analytics is going to rule the world because one can read a person by just taking time to study certain data about that particular person or one can even make almost accurate predictions about the future with just data at hand. For me it is not about passion but about the money and survival. IT support is another good one because you could easily get hired to provide remote support. The world has gone digital and many companies will rely on technology to run their businesses so there will be a high demand for IT support specialist every now and then.

Lastly you need a structured learning platform to pick up skills you wish to learn. I use coursera.org and Udacity. Udacity is giving out scholarship presently to Nigerians(I may post the scholarship link here if you are interested you could apply and begin your learning journey)



Remember that you could sell your present skill set online so don't throw it away so fast.


This is the scholarship link so feel free to dig in(Get on the right path to upskill with Access Bank Scholarship and Udacity

Please let those that have the opportunity of visiting the remote job site I posted here share some jobs here for other viewers too.

I applied for a remote entry Support IT role. I submitted a 180 seconds video about myself. Still waiting on them for response.

I finished my first course on IT Support a week ago and I already applied for scholarship for the second course.

keep learning new things every day.

This should motivate someone.
