I've been an avid follower of the programming section as a guest and now I want to fully make the switch to tech by next year. I'm confused on the path to take (data science, front end, back end, qa, product design) so that I can earn faster as I've bills to pay.

There's nothing easy.

Python seems very easy and can take you through data science, but your maths and statistics knowledge level must be high. For front end and back end, you need to look at many other choices in web development. Java script, php, Java, etc.

Data science is not the choice for immediate income, look into front end development first. Then, add back end to become full stack. But if you really want to earn high and you dont mind sacrificing 2 years of consistent study, go for data science.

The programming is path successful people understand that cloud web with orange device communicating towards designs is a web operation. Actually, the phyton program succeed data science and technology of device with front ends coincide back ends. To keep updated, learning product design with clouding and web design developer operation technically in a technologic device will open doors.

Na wetin people no go dey understand I wan dey write now

Data science

Answers please, I really get passion for this programming thing but I nor know where to start

Product design
You can get started with UI UX
Take a course on udemy for $10 or so

Start with HTLM, CSS and JAVASCRIPT. They are like the basic foundation.

Go the front end route.

You are more likely to find entry level front end jobs than the other areas.

Start with html, css, Javascript and React.

LeahSarah1 pay attention to this post.

If you want to learn, you better do it right. Programming isn't a field you jump into because you are looking for easy money.

Easy?

Nobody wan do Agric again

There's no easy oath

Omo no kee ya sef oooo. Choose one start and master first. If e go well, you can go for another and/or level up.

Go for Data Analysis and Front End. Na women get Product Design. Leave am for them

Get a pc

Sorry

Nothing is easy

I though it was Java...

And I Don start to go learn Java thinking its the simplest to start with. Cos have plans to over to Python after that.

Advising should switch?

Python seems very easy.

We'll, I'm here.
After you have decided, reach me to get your laptop powerbank to speed up your learning process.

follow your mind

DaveDGreat: Na women get Product Design. Leave am for them

Ewe!!!
See thinking

Html, css and Javascript are your best bet to start with

No easy path. Just be patient and devote time to it.
HTML
CSS
JavaScript

Then frontend
REACT
NextJS

Backend
NodeJs

Or Python
Or Laravel

Time is the biggest challenge if you can devote time to it you'll be amazed at how fast you can learn. Then as I tell my students. Practice practice practice until it becomes your second nature

so true about that product design. I see a lot of girls doing it these days.

Don't even try programming if u are looking for easy way out..lol...
No matter how easy a way, u will still get to a point sooner or later where u will be stuck, confused, and frustrated.
.
Just get ready to be focused and determined.
it's not for the fainthearted. it's a long lonely tenuous road

Data science/machine learning. You will earn more than you can think, if you truly have the right skills and know your data very well.

Front end bro, like CSS, HTML, and JavaScript.

Python is the simplest cos there are many packages or modules in it that you dont need to build from scratch like other languages. This is why it is powerful. There are more enthusiastic programmers using python and they keep building more modules yearly.

But you need the basic skill of programing which is useful for all languages. Dont drop Java. It is an added advantage for you. Even it is Python you will use later, continue studying Java. It's the same flowchart all programing languages work with.
