it was possible in the 70s and early 80s by using reference books
But development is much larger these days - many namespaces, functions, etc
also, it is much smarter and achieves better result to use these resources

As someone who has been a programmer, Tech lead, DevOps lead in the last 16 years I can assure you that your fear of saturation in the programming field is very unfounded, and rather than being saturated, there will be many more opportunities
The thing is this - programming is swallowing up many traditional jobs - it is making deep incursions into areas like law( most cases in the UK are now handled by computers in the US as opposed to actual lawyers), medicine(my uncle who is an MD told me recently told me of how they are now using remote AI for medical procedures(operation)), oil and gas and many more
MLS is by no means a match for programming as far as career is concerned. People get paid $350,000 to $500,000 per year just for working in big tech and they are not even special
Go for it

I see that a lot of people here are not familiar with how the law works in the Western world
My first white-collar job in the UK as a 24 years old guy was as a secondary school teacher and I used to have
some of my bigger students post love notes to me and a certain girl even took off her top, admittedly in the presence of other students
they will even sometimes claim I gave them detention just so they can be in the same room with me so I stopped giving
any detention whatsoever. I was not about to commit a suicidal blunder
The thing is the responsibility lies with the adult not the minor
and it is a poisoned chalice. Once you bite, you are completely finished
That guy is better off dead
he cannot visit any other western country for starters as they share Police records and he also has to declare it in his visa application(his free bilateral entries to other countries normally accorded to UK citizens are automatically withdrawn)
If he stays in the UK, assuming he is a citizen, he will most likely commit suicide
He will most likely ever get a job again(but he can sell pepper on the street of Peckham though)
certainly, he will lose his wife and children and no one will associate with him
BTW I met an old student recently who now held a masters degree, one of the people who used to post love notes to me
she could still have told the Police 15 years later if I ever did anything with her and the result would still be the same
He is definitely, completely finished

Dailybell:
I'm suffering so much in school. My mother as a pensioner hasn't been paid her pension for almost two years now since her retirement for state civil service. No pension, no gratuity. I can now see why some girls do some things just to survive in school but I really pray God intervenes in my case. For some days now, I can't really say what I have eaten. Help me with any amount to survive please.

Would you be kind enough to give me IT training as I need to shift gear myself before my story changes, many thanks Bro!!!!

If you are the one this happened to then I will surely help you
what area - take a pick
Software Dev? QA? DevOps?

I will usually not reply to many things here but in order to help you and make you understand that it is not the end of the world, I will share my experience and a little advice
I had a similar experience and it is a common scam in the UK. I went through a divorce 6 years ago and I know a friend who is going through one at the moment too
Do not mind the people calling you names - most times, things happen in spite of our cleverness and good intentions -m just listen here

So in my own case - I tried my best to make the marriage work, I put my ex in nursing school - scratch that - college to gain qualification for nursing school then nursing school. I also helped sort out her immigration issues. Those two things cost a lot of money for those who know

I was already a top-ten percent earner in the UK( that starts at £100,000 p.a as at then BTW), never cheated, watched out for her best interest and I was a Christian leader as at then. In fact, she was the only reason I couldn't buy a property earlier than I did, I wanted her to rise to meet similar financial status as mine. She and her mother used to call me "oloore mi" - my helper translated from Yoruba

Then as soon as she started making a little headway she became really nasty, setting me up every time, throwing me out of the house at will.
I, all of a sudden became a stingy man( funny enough I am nearly sure I was among the highest-paid all around us then and all income went into the marriage and I even took money from my mother at times)
My mum became a witch to her (it was my mum that encouraged me to put her in nursing school o, she herself being a nurse. )
I became the lazy guy to her- meanwhile, I was paying an au-pair £700 per month to look after her and our kids whilst I worked o(an aupair is the UK equivalent of house help in Nigeria ) aupair clened cooked etc, she sat pretty

- to earn £100k, you have to wake up really early to go to the city and come back late oh - and loads of traveling

I was thinking, I'm a Christian I didn't want to get a divorce. You see, I worked for a multi-national Oil and Gas firm, and being a friendly and humble guy, I will usually go downstairs to chat with the dinner ladies and among them a very beautiful, mixed race 23 years old who really liked me and wanted to date me then even but genuinely I wanted to honour God, despite going weeks without sex as a married man

Then I bought a house. I genuinely wanted to add her name but because she hadn't attained her PR status banks refused(she had exceptional leave) and then the set up was now too much
one day I don't know what happened but my younger daughter got locked inside her room - I wasn't even there ( I believe she orchestrated it BTW) and usually you break the door by your self or called the Fire marshalls at worst but she called the Police - whilst I was trying to break the door
The police came and started asking if I was attacking them. At that point it became clear to me, my life was in danger so I was praying nonetheless
Then one day I traveled to work and came back, she was gone with the children. Imagine how devastating and then I started begging( whilst aware that she started dating someone else - Aupair told me o

Then social services got involved( you are finished the moment social services gets involved in any case) the social services guy was from the same Nigerian town as her and for whatever reason(I have my guesses though) he lied against me in his report - several lies and said I admitted to things that even if I had done them(I didn't) no one with a reasonable IQ would agree to
Eventually, I filed for divorce, and then only then she didn't want divorce again. She was calling my friends, hiding from the court bailiff - here is someone trying her hardest to tarnish my image with lies and set up but I pushed
Crucially, she got a non-molestation order( that order is called the liar order as you don't have to prove anything - just that you are scared of someone and they will issue it - almost always against a man)
In total Police came 5 times( I called them once) but crucially, I was smarter - there was no reason for me to be warned or arrested so no record against me
Now the part you can learn from

I paid for court bailiffs to track her down and serve her papers and she asked for about 70% of everything I owned( 60% of the equity of the house in the UK and my property in Nigeria).

My lawyers were saying I should go to court blah, blah but I was smarter. I was able to work things out

Sometimes, lawyers are looking after their pocket not you so you need to be smart. If I went to court, I will have to pay for my lawyers(£100 an hour) and her lawyers( £100 an hour) and that can last months so the differential is always not going to favour me. Besides, there is no way she won't get a chunk of it in a UK court despite that I owned them 100% so I agreed.
Again she took ages to come back, she didn't respond for 8 months as truly, I had treated her very well and at that point reality must have dawned on her so I kept pushing and I will travel all over the world to take my mind off things.

I had one issue then - how do I get 60% of equity to pay her off - I was broke and tired. I had carried everyone on my head - her, her mum, her family, kids, au pair - hoping that she would finish her studies, appreciate and support me. If only I knew that my struggles were just beginning then
But I had one thing going for me. Prayers
then I got a contract that paid like double what I was earning - so it turns out that God was working for me - in the time that she was stalling, I was getting paid double and met my current wife who is 20,000 times the person she was( of course my opinion)
so eventually her lawyers responded after I kept hassling them and she thought I wouldn't be able to pay her off. She was ready to move back into the house
All in all, it cost me about £70,000 plus regular maintenance for the children. It would have been double if I went to court
I am far richer than she left me though. Far richer and in a much better place

However, I won every time we went to the family court for the children. So I have access
If you are the one in the right, somehow God will find a way to reward your faithfulness
I can offer to train you in IT for free and you will get a good job. It will help to redirect you to a better place
Don't go to Nigeria though. Stick it out
travel on vacation
You will be ok
