Why Is Everyone Rushing Into Programming? by chukwuebuka65(m): 8:07pm On Aug 16, 2022
Can u believe that about 60k students registered for ALX SE program for the august cohort. And during the onboarding yesterday, a student of the program was invited to talk to us. Could you believe that the guy was a BANKER currently at a job. A banker wants to leave banking for programming! I even heard some medical students also enrolled in the program. These guys think programming is beans. Anyways, let’s see how it goes.

Rubbish angry they will all fail woefully angry these are the same doctors, bankers and pharmacist that them and their yeye parents use to insult and talk down on us that wanted to study CS that year. Saying we will end up as phone repairers on the street. They will all FAIL catastrophically angry rubbish.. They have oversaturated their medicine and surgery, finish, their pharmacy and banking and finance, now they want to come and spoil market for the same phone repairers they said will end up on the streets. Very heavy thunder will scatter all of them, nonsense angry

They no longer want to make their parents and society proud again( because that is why most of them study these courses).. Rubbish, now them wan enter tech. No be only tech, tech will kill all of them there.

guy you won't understand how much this thing pains me..if my father had allowed me to study the computer science I wanted to study 5 years ago when I graduated from sec school, I would have been a happy CS graduate at 20 years old and I know how much I would have benefited from it.. But no, instead he forced me to go and study pharmacy, Mostly because of crowd mentality and how those guys are seen in the society as Demi Gods.. That was how him and his friend sweet talked me into studying the course, telling me that even before I graduate, I would be earning 150k as salary during my IT and also driving big cars.
Now I'm a dropout planing to start all over again because I couldn't continue the stupid course and he has been blaming and punishing me ever since because according to him, it is all my fault..

Is a good thing we need to compete with the Indians. They are using tech to migrate and control the world. Look at UK migration numbers. 80 thousand Indians got work visa in uk last year compared to 12 k Nigerians. In that half of the Indians is tech while only 1500 is noligerians in tech.

no it doesn't. Why is tech not saturated in India and China? Go to TechCrunch and crunchbase. 30 billion dollars was invested in tech alone last year

Lol no my brother. We need to compete globally or else we miss out. Go to TechCrunch and see water money flowing. Tech and renewable energy is the future, we the youths need to take this opportunity or else the world will leave us behind.

I'm not saying we should not compete..my own be sey let all those doctors, bankers and pharmacist(especially the doctors and pharmacist) should gettat with immediate effect... We don't need them in tech. They should carry their money driven career prostitution somewhere else..they are nothing but idiots, all of them angry

You really think people who smashed Maths and Physics in their O'levels, dominated their various classes and exams, regularly spend painfully long hours studying complex things would fail at Tech?

Lmao

And why are so many people abandoning it after discovering heavy loads ahead of them. Programming is a serious manual brain labour and long life learning career that will take away somethings from you

They abandon it because of the long term ROI required.

It doesn't pay in 6 months, or even a year. Takes over a year of consistent hard work to make the first couple bucks.

Most people are either too lazy or too impatient to wait that long

But skills wise and learning curve, I don't see people in Medicine, Pharmacy suffering in tech at all.

My thought exactly, an extrovert moving into tech is not beans, as an introvert I stay indoors only which allows me to concentrate.
And besides the other professionals should stock to their business, you only enjoy Tech when you're driven by passion not by money, many ppl don't know this thereby the don't even last up to 2 months and they're done .
...Stick to what you are good at.

Reason why I said only few people will remain. I agree there are so many programmers wannabes today but the world don't needs them, we need programmers who are thinkers, problem solvers, innovators and critical thinkers who use their codes to solve human day to day problems. It takes years to reach this stage.

You are so angry, calm down bro. I know those people might have said somethings to you in the past but just forget it and move on. Thats life.

Besides, tech just picked up financially in Nigeria in 2019/2020, so we have to be grateful too. If not for remote work, most people will be earning 200k to 500k after many years experience.

You can still do it, its just to dedicate certain hours daily for coding, then certain hours for hanging out.

Extroverts moving into tech make way more money and they are even more recognized. They are the ones who do Developer Advocate roles. They talk more in conferences, network with more people. Have YouTube channels. Being an extrovert always more advantage in life generally.
