I work with kids age 7-18 to help them develop software development skills. This includes html, java script, and C+.
I develop skills for many teens and young adults—skills that a person will need depending what their future career would be. I work at a school for computer software development. This is similar to just trying to do a course online using code academy, however, we actually help you whenever you don’t understand. We demonstrate to the teens how they got something wrong in their code, which can help them learn their mistake and learn how to avoid that same problem.
Here's the first step for high school students
Take Computer Science P AP to see if you would like to continue this career because you shouldn't jump into a career that wouldn't make you feel happy. If you continue following the computer science career path, I recommend going to a college that has good computer science courses.
"You need to earn tons of money from your career."
He said throughout high school and college he never really have to deal with his mental health. However, once he needed to find a job, his family made him think that money is the only thing that mattered. Which affected his happiness and his career.
For him, success deals with the idea of not giving up. Even though he wasn't very happy, he continued to work his hardest. The days he felt like he wasn't successful were because of his happiness. He felt like he wasn't doing this for himself.
His family was the people who made him believe that money was his number one priority. So, that's what he did. He started earning tons of money throughout his careers. Yet, he never felt happy with it. What he learned was that happiness is important.
