My friends, the question I’ve heard most in my life for the last 1 year is “I want to start software, where should I start?” . This cliché is now the subject of internet memes, I get the question so much and I’m at the point of vomiting that I want to write an article about it and answer it to those who ask this question.
The first question I ask these friends is usually “Do you enjoy hanging out at the computer?” is happening . If your answer is yes, it will be pleasant for you to focus on the software field. If you are someone who says I am bored at the computer and cannot stay for more than 2 hours, I recommend you not to enter this world at all.
The second thing I ask is whether he has information about his profession in the IT sector. There are many types of occupations in the IT industry. The skills required by the missions differ as much as the dispositions. Mostly because people don’t research it, I tell people we need to research it and talk about it that way.
Until the third question, the unqualified part of the people who ask this question is eliminated. The men who have come to this stage are now the part that puts their mind to this job, loves this job and is really eager to improve themselves. Because most of the people who ask me this question say, “The future is on software bro Silicon valley bro , everybody says so.” crew. If I spend my precious time on these, I can’t spare time for really talented young people who need a mentor.
The third question is usually related to the field he wants to focus on. At this point, I give them very, very general information and expect them to try themselves. After a certain time, if I have technical experience on that subject, I answer their questions one by one.
The mentality here is very simple. At first I want them to try to learn how to fish themselves. I help my friends who make this effort but can’t progress because of inexperience, if I have any knowledge about it. If not, I usually refer it to someone knowledgeable.
If you have not chosen a university or if you are at the beginning of university, I recommend you to explore many different fields and discover which one you enjoy the most. I realized that I enjoy the entire IT industry. Solving a problem on the computer gives me pleasure. Focus on what you enjoy the most. Although there are salary differences from field to field , almost every IT worker receives similar salaries for similar experiences .
You have found the field you love, Youtube Udemy you are progressing with a training from anywhere. Afterwards, explaining what you have learned as a blog Youtube video and sharing it with people will put you far ahead of your competitors.
As people who have spent time in these jobs, as hardworking successful people who love this job, we already understand whether a person has potential or not, which person cannot scratch for success.
Instead of wasting people’s valuable time for simple information you can find on the Internet with 2 clicks, you should research and ask people detailed questions that you do not understand. I will always continue to help answer the questions of those who do this. Hope to see you in new articles.
