It might take you 2 hours to learn a new technology . Yes tech can be challenging ( life is challenging on a whole) so if you up to it “just do it” Dive in
Chris, great video. Take it from a lifer. The challenges you mention don't ever go away, ever. Also, whether it's 100K or 1Mil, the key is don't bury yourself in obligatory debt. Don't like your gig? Switch. Don't like your tech stack, switch. What makes that easy, is not spending that 200K before you get it. Have to take a hit? No sweat. DO NOT RAISE YOUR LIFESTYLE IN DIRECT PROPORTION TO THE AMOUNT OF MONEY YOU MAKE. YOUR FREEDOM LIES IN BEING FREE. PAY CASH, LIVE FRUGAL. Hell even being frugal with a 6+ figure salary, you can still fix those Porsche tires. The last thing I'll leave on this subject is life is cyclical, burnout comes, burnout goes. Your freedom to make choices is what will keep you sane. Peace.
You know what money equals, man? Money equals freedom. Money equals opportunity. Money equals better security. Money equals comfort. Money equals better medical care. Money equals a nicer neighborhood. Money equals early retirement. Money equals the ability to support a family. Money equals better schooling for your kids. Money equals better quality of life. Money most certainly does equal happiness. Does it solve every problem? No. But it solves enough problems that you don't have to worry about dying penniless in a ditch somewhere of a disease that could have been treated with better insurance. I am sick to death of hearing this from people making $200K+ salaries. It's utter nonsense.
Fax it's annoying. I want the freedom to invest and provide a future for my kids. I rather let my happiness go down. It's the sacrifice I would rather make.
@@watamutha I really don't care if I feel like a slave or not. If the money I get from that job gives my family the life they deserve, I'll still call it freedom.
Hey Chris! I'm a 20 years old university student from Greece. I'm currently studying for my BSc in CS and I code and study every single day for many hours. I'm literally in love with programming. I watched some of your videos and learnt your story and I've gotta say, you're an amazing human being and thank you for inspiring and helping developers like me! I wish you all the best and I hope one day I become as a great developer as you!🤗
Currently going through the Colt Steele Udemy course and will hopefully be an employed front end developer by September of 2022. I’m not doing this for the money. I know it’s a very well paid job but I’m doing this for the flexibility, the fulfillment, the future job prospect, and the possibility of one day being able to wake up, turn on my computer and work in my pajamas from the comfort of my own home and be able to live wherever I want.
I am a 20 year old student pushing for my BS in CS and have doubted myself so many times and your videos give me the light to keep pushing and learning and do more and more every day. Everything I do on a daily basis now is pushing to learn because of your videos. Thank you for what you do!
Very helpful, as someone who is currently transitioning from a mechanical engineering role into web dev I found your experience inspiring. Keep up the great work!

Learn HTML and CSS together as they go hand-in-hand. The former is the easiest while the latter is the most challenging yet the most rewarding because it makes your website beautiful; you're the best Hollywood plastic surgeon! Afterward, learn Javascript. It adds behavior to your website like an image disappearing when you hover the mouse cursor over it. JS will be the most difficult to learn because it involves programming. However, you can still be successful just being focused on HTML and CSS. There are demos of devs who have made some pretty hot websites without JS. For HTML, focus on learning forms, div, span, and lists. For CSS, focus on learning Grid. All the best!
@@swallowedinthesea11 Hey dude I am Learning Web Development since 6 months. kinda okay at it. but I get so demotivated thinking that nobody uses and wants websites these days because most of the consumer people spend their time on popular Social media sites, Everything that has to be built has already been built. and It will be a waste of time learning this thing..
@@zohaib0335 I understand. With things like website builders and social medias, the question of why learn web development pops up. There are some things that those can't do, but you aren't limited by anything except by how much you know and your skills. I don't think Mcdonald's uses Wordpress. They likely build everything from the ground up. We're in the process of learning web development, but we can look up local ma-and-pa businesses and offer our services to them. Like we can politely explain to them that we can improve there websites for modern audiences; I have seen some websites that are quite 1990s. We can do some freelance work, too. Although there are website builders, web development is still in. Corporations likely wouldn't use them and small businesses may use them but some will be so inexperienced that results in a terrible website or won't have the time to make a website because they are more focused on their physical business like buying supplies, hiring, etc. They will rely on Facebook, but you can get in touch with them and offer your service. I think first making a draft webpage or two would help them see what they could have.
Me too! I don’t know where to start, and I’m a freshman. I feel like me starting so early is a good idea once I join the Web Development industry. I use Khan Academy!! It’s very helpful!!
So I want that lifestyle plain and simple. Make over 100k and work from home is my goal. I was thinking about cybersecurity but it's not really remote unless your a pen tester which needs coding experience. My question is, is this a career worth putting the effort into? Or should I pursue something else? I feel like you are a one in a million person who got this type of lifestyle.
@@RealChrisSean I have been having a hard time this last month trying to figure my life out and your videos are helping me find my way. Thank you for comenting and doing what you do. One more question, should I drop my job, go to a bootcamp and hope to God I get a job afterwards? Or should I keep my job, learn on my own, make projects and get a job that way? I want the fastest route.
@@RealChrisSean thank you brother. I'm excited to see my life change into something amazing. I will keep you updated with this path of mine. God bless you man, your doing amazing things helping people out like this.
I'm doing Udemy’s Web Dev course, I'm on JavaScript Decision Making topic and I've been feeling stuck. I’d like to see a video on JavaScript conditionals or just JavaScript basics if any of that makes sense.
Man, i love your videos and i am inspired ASF. Thanks for sharing all your life experiences and advices, i am really inspired and prepared to be a web developer.
I have a question , on a business note of course. Would you leave your job with good management for another job opportunity where you’ll make more money to take care of your problems? Without being aware of how good the management is but the only thing promised is you’ll be making more money.
Nah I wouldn’t leave just for more money. Even if I would earn 100k more on top of my salary but it meant I’d have less of a work life balance I wouldn’t take it.
36 and work in non commissioned sales for 6+ years now and absolutely hate it. Still make under $70k. Thinking about getting a degree in web development so I can get out of sales. What's the best way to learn and get hired?
@@dotcomwhiz depends on your area, the culture of the company you join, your abilities to network, and other factors. Id say if you persevere you have no reason to not find and keep a job

Math, logic, abstract thinking, creativity of a composer, practicality of an engineer, tacticality of a chess player. The more skills and attributes like that you have, the more "complete" of a developer you would become.
I've been dealing in websites and small businesses design with no college degree or any coding languages and got a award from Google In 2019 for my business
This is straight up fire, thanks Chris, this is my first time watching you. I’m 35 now and very excited to embark on a new journey in IT. My 2 quick questions are, as a beginner, do you recommend focusing on either front or backend? Second, as web dev, how close is it to mobile app dev in case I want to change later on?
I really appreciate the video. I did chuckle a little when he said "these high up managers are working a lot..... sometimes 50 to 60 hours a week." That's a slow week dawg.....
thank you, seems many issues are more like personal issues that could be solved by character - soft skill development, but sure u got to love what you do to have fuel in tank to achieve.
Is it possible to become a web developer through self-learning? Whenever I take a look at any front-end or back-end roadmap and see how much I need to learn to become proficient in it, it make me feel discouraging and lose hope in being able to accomplish it all on my own
What’s up man, I’m looking into learning programming because I have a love for the block chain, to be more specific I love solana. Starting my programming journey I figure the best way to start would be learning html, css, and javascript and hopefully getting a job as a front end dev. After that I plan to soak up knowledge and learn rust in my free time, would this be a good plan to make my way into some blockchain development a few years into the future?
Chris, you inspired me to start learning Python, and now I'm taking a Back End Dev bootcamp. I'm really nervous about starting the hunt for my first Dev job. Can you help me find my first Python backend dev job?
@@BugArray I'm really enjoying it. We've just about reached the end of the Python section of the camp, and I'm starting to feel a lot better about my Py coding skills, especially now that we're studying algorithms. Next we go into SQL. So, heehaw.
Great News bro.. You should share your journey one day.. Like I also have a coding channel where I try teach people how to code... I'm also in the journey of growing that as well and help grow the texh world
What’s up Chris dope video bro... in your honest opinion do you think its to late for me to switch careers into doing this? I just turned 37 today and unhappy with where life and my old job has taken me. I have a bunch of time on my hands right now and started going hard with learning and practicing HTML and some coding for 6+ hours a day.I didn’t really have that much experience before but I’m really motivated because of my daughter, I really want her to be proud of me and I want to be a great provider. I watch videos that get me hella excited then I see some that say “why you shouldn’t get into tech” that totally shit on my mood. I know it’s competitive and my age and experience doesn’t help but I’m not greedy and making millions a year would be great but I’m fine with being where you’re at. I just don’t want to feel like I’m wasting my time getting in a career thats quickly advancing and that’s taking a lot of talented people way younger and more experienced. Hope for a response thanks bro
@@RealChrisSean wow that was fast, I appreciate the response. Do you have any tips on what to study or focus on? Or any tips in general? I started on python then switched to html which is probably dumb lol. I’m just going crazy with all these videos on what different people suggest
Hey bro iv been watching your videos, thank you they are very motivating. Before I saw you suggest treehouse i had already started on codecademy the full stack path. Im wondering watch you think. I am getting a little lost with objects
Is it bad that even if I love programming, solving problems making things efficient etc I hate watching online lectures. For example, I have to make an algorithm to do something, I have spent a lot of time and sometimes a day trying to figure it out, i don’t feel bored or the need to give up but watching online lectures makes me go super fidgety and I can’t stand watching them for more than two hours.
Hello Chris, I want to become a Web Developer and have no experience. I want to be like you and get a lot of money. I can't work at a regular job since I lost my leg in a bus accident, so I ended up with a computer and like being an alarm dispatcher.
I'm a chef for 9yrs. Working hours 72-80hours a week it requires mental and physical str and now I'm 28yo. I'm trying to dive in to tech industry after I collect enough penny for me to go to college, because it's my 1st hobby towards coding and I'm a Software Engineer student in 2019 but dropout because of COVID-19 pandemic because of my financial problems. I love coding and it pays more than being a chef. It's like kill 2 bird with 1 stone🪨(I think). I need to be a Software Engineer to help my family. That's what I thought. Am I in the right path? Btw I live in Malaysia.
Hi, I'm just starting. I'm a first-year student In "cybersecurity", and Idk what to do. Lastly, I have been interested in AI, Ml, building apps. And that's my problem, I found a very good course with brilliant people as teacher, so I decided to sign up. And rn I'm confused. The course plan is to learn js etc. for 1 year, but I'm not sure, that it is what I want to do. The question is, is that true that after knowing 1 language, next is easier than before? Is any connection between js and cybersecurity etc? If frontend will not be my "love", can I switch branches? Is that wasting a time? what would you guys do? I would be grateful to hear what you can say about my situation Offtop I was thinking too about trying to help people, to prevent disease, during my work, I was thinking about going into AI? Is Js and webdev is good idea to start, during my studies of cybersec? :) Thanks
hi man, i must agree with all u said. but maybe u should stress that personal life (and changes) is the most difficult part. I do not know how envy is part of life america (i guess u r american cuz of accent). But in my country (Czech Republic) is envy huge problem, it can crush u. Ok, I am C# developer (I am best in WPF / Xamarin => desktop / mobile development). My Family, they r dentists (so they r ok), but my friends (most of them) r common workers and I know that can screw r friendship and even lost my beloved Bára. Cuz as u said, this industry is very competetive and u got to learn and practise to keep ur level. Common worker ends his shift and goes home or to a pub and does not understand this.. because u need to keep up ur skills and u have ur responsibilities even when u end ur shift..For me, that is and was the most difficult part. I love my job and I do not want ruin it. So some people got to go from life. And that is really hard. I do loved them.
I'm not a wfh person nor a computer programmer. But WFH must be literally the best thing ever for an employee, second to getting a raise. No commute! Gas money and time saved. Work naked, or however you want to dress! Those are already big enough reasons. You don't like your work and non-work place to be the same? Set up your office in a different room. Or if you can't do that? You can go out! Leave your apartment! You have enough time! No more commute.
As far as I’m concerned, money is a variable that enables happiness to be possible, for ME. Listen, I’m 25, live in Austin, Texas. I have absolutely nothing. No higher education, no car, no house, no assets, no girlfriend (ever), etc. I have a low hour, low paying job, and on my best month ever I would make $1200. All I want is to be able to enjoy my life. To have a functioning car, to be able to travel. And the only thing that can make that happen is more money. Period. After being stuck in poverty for so long, I am 100% certain that money is the solution to happiness for my life, which is and has been hell for a very long time. It’s like I’m in prison, except I’m just not stuck in a cage. That’s it.
I’m in my 40s switching careers to web dev. I’ve been in accounting n operations. There’s a$$hole people everywhere. Tech n dev gives u lots more opportunit to leave a toxic environment as well as do freelance and create a product. Sooner or later you’ll find your tribe or niche. Keep at it.
"Only" 200k a year lol. That's a lot in a lot of places in the USA. I don't even make 50k at this job and they're trying to outsource all our work. Figured it was a good time to learn something new. :)

Afterward, learn Javascript. It adds behavior to your website like an image disappearing when you hover the mouse cursor over it.
JS will be the most difficult to learn because it involves programming. However, you can still be successful just being focused on HTML and CSS. There are demos of devs who have made some pretty hot websites without JS.
For HTML, focus on learning forms, div, span, and lists.
For CSS, focus on learning Grid.
All the best!
@@swallowedinthesea11 Hey dude I am Learning Web Development since 6 months. kinda okay at it. but I get so demotivated thinking that nobody uses and wants websites these days because most of the consumer people spend their time on popular Social media sites, Everything that has to be built has already been built. and It will be a waste of time learning this thing..
@@zohaib0335 I understand. With things like website builders and social medias, the question of why learn web development pops up. There are some things that those can't do, but you aren't limited by anything except by how much you know and your skills. I don't think Mcdonald's uses Wordpress. They likely build everything from the ground up. We're in the process of learning web development, but we can look up local ma-and-pa businesses and offer our services to them. Like we can politely explain to them that we can improve there websites for modern audiences; I have seen some websites that are quite 1990s. We can do some freelance work, too.
Although there are website builders, web development is still in. Corporations likely wouldn't use them and small businesses may use them but some will be so inexperienced that results in a terrible website or won't have the time to make a website because they are more focused on their physical business like buying supplies, hiring, etc. They will rely on Facebook, but you can get in touch with them and offer your service. I think first making a draft webpage or two would help them see what they could have.
Me too! I don’t know where to start, and I’m a freshman. I feel like me starting so early is a good idea once I join the Web Development industry. I use Khan Academy!! It’s very helpful!!
I like this. Straight to the point, didn't ask to subscribe or no long intro. I'll be watching for more. Thank you
Learning JavaScript as my first programming language 🤗
Just finished my bootcamp (treehouse) now what. I'm excited but also anxious.
Make your portfolio. Start applying for jobs.
As long as React doesn’t fall out of popularity before I get my first job, and the jobs don’t go away anytime soon, I’m good lol
React is here to stay for a while
Ur second video I'll be watching... gotta give it to you Chief... you're good... ur story and lifestyle is both encouraging and envious.
So I want that lifestyle plain and simple. Make over 100k and work from home is my goal. I was thinking about cybersecurity but it's not really remote unless your a pen tester which needs coding experience. My question is, is this a career worth putting the effort into? Or should I pursue something else? I feel like you are a one in a million person who got this type of lifestyle.
100% worth it. Like every career, tech has its ups and downs. But depending on the companies you can have a great WLB while working remote.
@@RealChrisSean I have been having a hard time this last month trying to figure my life out and your videos are helping me find my way. Thank you for comenting and doing what you do. One more question, should I drop my job, go to a bootcamp and hope to God I get a job afterwards? Or should I keep my job, learn on my own, make projects and get a job that way? I want the fastest route.
@@tythadiusd7917 boot camp can help you a ton. If you are able to live off savings for a few months that can work too.
@@RealChrisSean thank you brother. I'm excited to see my life change into something amazing. I will keep you updated with this path of mine. God bless you man, your doing amazing things helping people out like this.
🙏
Just got my first offer letter after searching for a year and a half!
Congratulations 🎉🍾. Wish you all the best
Hell yeah!! Congrats Blaine!! :)
Thanks guys! It's been one hell of a ride!
It must run in the family. Good job brotha!
@@JeremiahPeoples oh shoot! Another peoples!
Thanks for this video Chris. I always enjoy listen to your advice in every video 🔥
I’m glad to see Chris is back!
🙏
the more money the more problem just depends on your personality, if you become completely material-oriented then it becomes a problem.
Am always grateful for you content Chris, you just genuine and amazing...thanks
I'm contemplating becoming a web developer.
Amazing video, you touch on the other side of the coin very well. Really enjoyed watching this, thank you.
it’s not coming off as bragging at all. it’s inspiring and it’s great info to know the opportunities that await
You must be the most brave and resilient person I've come across , i admire that
Best videos I saw in last 10 days.. it helped me a lot.. thanks buddy
After all this time... I actually enjoy your explanation instead of other people on this RUclips...
Damn real video, very good on the insight and hustle man! It’s rough starting out.
Html
Css
Javascript
Bootstrap
Dom
jQuery
ReactJs
Are these enough to get a front-end job??
Even the first 3 at a decent depth
I'm doing Udemy’s Web Dev course, I'm on JavaScript Decision Making topic and I've been feeling stuck. I’d like to see a video on JavaScript conditionals or just JavaScript basics if any of that makes sense.
Chris, you inspire me a whole lot. I listen to you every morning
Man, i love your videos and i am inspired ASF. Thanks for sharing all your life experiences and advices, i am really inspired and prepared to be a web developer.
I have a question , on a business note of course. Would you leave your job with good management for another job opportunity where you’ll make more money to take care of your problems? Without being aware of how good the management is but the only thing promised is you’ll be making more money.
Nah I wouldn’t leave just for more money. Even if I would earn 100k more on top of my salary but it meant I’d have less of a work life balance I wouldn’t take it.
Chris is such a caring passionate person. I bet the ppl that are on his bad side have the scars to prove it. 😂
Appreciate you man
36 and work in non commissioned sales for 6+ years now and absolutely hate it. Still make under $70k. Thinking about getting a degree in web development so I can get out of sales. What's the best way to learn and get hired?
This is so honest and real, I wish someone would've told me this before I majored in CS
How long did it take for you to get your first job?
Thanks for this very informative video.
A few months :)
Every work is challenging In the aspect of work college and every work demands some responsibility’s………
would you suggest a 35 year old to switch to web development? I am talking about job prospects, the money and the opportunities, the competition, etc.
Will be hard. But if you really got passion about it do give your all
You will despair many times so perseverance is your friend
@@keylanoslokj1806 i understand it will be hard but is it feasible though?
@@dotcomwhiz depends on your area, the culture of the company you join, your abilities to network, and other factors. Id say if you persevere you have no reason to not find and keep a job
@@dotcomwhiz if you talk strictly about the technical part, then a background in the stems would help. Math, logic, abstract thinking, creativity of a composer, practicality of an engineer, tacticality of a chess player. The more skills and attributes like that you have, the more "complete" of a developer you would become.
Aloha Chris ! many I can’t wait to finish my dev school
This is great advice!
I've been dealing in websites and small businesses design with no college degree or any coding languages and got a award from Google In 2019 for my business
This is straight up fire, thanks Chris, this is my first time watching you. I’m 35 now and very excited to embark on a new journey in IT. My 2 quick questions are, as a beginner, do you recommend focusing on either front or backend? Second, as web dev, how close is it to mobile app dev in case I want to change later on?
I'm 35 yrs old and starting my journey as well! Best of luck to ya, buddy!
I really appreciate the video. I did chuckle a little when he said "these high up managers are working a lot..... sometimes 50 to 60 hours a week." That's a slow week dawg.....
The emotion in ur words towards the end really hit different for me
When you talk about working from home. One thing that can be done is getting office spaces and using that as your work space instead of home.
@Chris Sean Glad you are back :)
🙏
thank you, seems many issues are more like personal issues that could be solved by character - soft skill development, but sure u got to love what you do to have fuel in tank to achieve.
Is it possible to become a web developer through self-learning? Whenever I take a look at any front-end or back-end roadmap and see how much I need to learn to become proficient in it, it make me feel discouraging and lose hope in being able to accomplish it all on my own
It's safe to assume everyone watching is already learning code.
Lol
Yes indeed
Absolutely
Absofuckinglutly😂
yes
Hey Chris,
Any chance you can do a video on interviews ? What to expect ? What do you do to get ready ? What have they asked ?
What’s up man, I’m looking into learning programming because I have a love for the block chain, to be more specific I love solana. Starting my programming journey I figure the best way to start would be learning html, css, and javascript and hopefully getting a job as a front end dev. After that I plan to soak up knowledge and learn rust in my free time, would this be a good plan to make my way into some blockchain development a few years into the future?
You are so good at what you do!!!
Chris, you inspired me to start learning Python, and now I'm taking a Back End Dev bootcamp. I'm really nervous about starting the hunt for my first Dev job. Can you help me find my first Python backend dev job?
Bootcamp is great bro . Keep pushing
@@BugArray I'm really enjoying it. We've just about reached the end of the Python section of the camp, and I'm starting to feel a lot better about my Py coding skills, especially now that we're studying algorithms. Next we go into SQL. So, heehaw.
Great News bro.. You should share your journey one day.. Like I also have a coding channel where I try teach people how to code... I'm also in the journey of growing that as well and help grow the texh world
I’ve worked 70 hours a week for less than $1K before taxes. Hearing what those pay ranges were blew my mind.
What’s up Chris dope video bro... in your honest opinion do you think its to late for me to switch careers into doing this? I just turned 37 today and unhappy with where life and my old job has taken me. I have a bunch of time on my hands right now and started going hard with learning and practicing HTML and some coding for 6+ hours a day.I didn’t really have that much experience before but I’m really motivated because of my daughter, I really want her to be proud of me and I want to be a great provider. I watch videos that get me hella excited then I see some that say “why you shouldn’t get into tech” that totally shit on my mood. I know it’s competitive and my age and experience doesn’t help but I’m not greedy and making millions a year would be great but I’m fine with being where you’re at. I just don’t want to feel like I’m wasting my time getting in a career thats quickly advancing and that’s taking a lot of talented people way younger and more experienced. Hope for a response thanks bro
Nope not too late. My manager became an engineer at 37. He’s 43 now.
@@RealChrisSean wow that was fast, I appreciate the response. Do you have any tips on what to study or focus on? Or any tips in general? I started on python then switched to html which is probably dumb lol. I’m just going crazy with all these videos on what different people suggest
Hey bro iv been watching your videos, thank you they are very motivating. Before I saw you suggest treehouse i had already started on codecademy the full stack path. Im wondering watch you think. I am getting a little lost with objects
So true! Money = happiness + responsibilities.. I’m prepared for that 😊
Hey Chris, should I spend money to study bootcamp ? If so, do you have any recommendations? If not, do you have any other alternatives? Thanks !
Chris which one has good future networking or programming
I'm so inspired 💙💙Thx
Is it bad that even if I love programming, solving problems making things efficient etc I hate watching online lectures. For example, I have to make an algorithm to do something, I have spent a lot of time and sometimes a day trying to figure it out, i don’t feel bored or the need to give up but watching online lectures makes me go super fidgety and I can’t stand watching them for more than two hours.
Hello Chris, I want to become a Web Developer and have no experience. I want to be like you and get a lot of money. I can't work at a regular job since I lost my leg in a bus accident, so I ended up with a computer and like being an alarm dispatcher.
dude this is just good advice for anyone looking for a job! 🙌🙌🙌
Thank you so much mate you are the best
Ok, Great Inspiration man. 💯
I'm a chef for 9yrs. Working hours 72-80hours a week it requires mental and physical str and now I'm 28yo. I'm trying to dive in to tech industry after I collect enough penny for me to go to college, because it's my 1st hobby towards coding and I'm a Software Engineer student in 2019 but dropout because of COVID-19 pandemic because of my financial problems. I love coding and it pays more than being a chef. It's like kill 2 bird with 1 stone🪨(I think). I need to be a Software Engineer to help my family. That's what I thought. Am I in the right path? Btw I live in Malaysia.
Hi, I'm just starting. I'm a first-year student In "cybersecurity", and Idk what to do. Lastly, I have been interested in AI, Ml, building apps. And that's my problem, I found a very good course with brilliant people as teacher, so I decided to sign up. And rn I'm confused. The course plan is to learn js etc. for 1 year, but I'm not sure, that it is what I want to do. The question is, is that true that after knowing 1 language, next is easier than before? Is any connection between js and cybersecurity etc? If frontend will not be my "love", can I switch branches? Is that wasting a time? what would you guys do? I would be grateful to hear what you can say about my situation Offtop I was thinking too about trying to help people, to prevent disease, during my work, I was thinking about going into AI? Is Js and webdev is good idea to start, during my studies of cybersec? :) Thanks
Thanks for sharing Sean
You’re talking about facts in life that people naturally learn but great video!
happiness is more of mindset and person to person is different
do you recommend learning web development even if the job market for this sector in my country is quite small
What country?
Thank you so much!!
hi man, i must agree with all u said. but maybe u should stress that personal life (and changes) is the most difficult part. I do not know how envy is part of life america (i guess u r american cuz of accent). But in my country (Czech Republic) is envy huge problem, it can crush u. Ok, I am C# developer (I am best in WPF / Xamarin => desktop / mobile development). My Family, they r dentists (so they r ok), but my friends (most of them) r common workers and I know that can screw r friendship and even lost my beloved Bára. Cuz as u said, this industry is very competetive and u got to learn and practise to keep ur level. Common worker ends his shift and goes home or to a pub and does not understand this.. because u need to keep up ur skills and u have ur responsibilities even when u end ur shift..For me, that is and was the most difficult part. I love my job and I do not want ruin it. So some people got to go from life. And that is really hard. I do loved them.
I'm not a wfh person nor a computer programmer. But WFH must be literally the best thing ever for an employee, second to getting a raise. No commute! Gas money and time saved. Work naked, or however you want to dress! Those are already big enough reasons. You don't like your work and non-work place to be the same? Set up your office in a different room. Or if you can't do that? You can go out! Leave your apartment! You have enough time! No more commute.
Fire video my guy 🔥
Ty!!
As far as I’m concerned, money is a variable that enables happiness to be possible, for ME. Listen, I’m 25, live in Austin, Texas. I have absolutely nothing. No higher education, no car, no house, no assets, no girlfriend (ever), etc. I have a low hour, low paying job, and on my best month ever I would make $1200. All I want is to be able to enjoy my life. To have a functioning car, to be able to travel. And the only thing that can make that happen is more money. Period. After being stuck in poverty for so long, I am 100% certain that money is the solution to happiness for my life, which is and has been hell for a very long time. It’s like I’m in prison, except I’m just not stuck in a cage. That’s it.
I’ll tell you this… money has made my life a hell of a lot better than when I made less money lol.
When You Are on Survival Mode financially, You won't Complaint about the $200K a year, because We all live in Stress no matter what.
I’m not complaining about it at all. As a matter of fact I now earn 300k/yr and life couldn’t be any better lol
100k is coming!
😍
Meditation/workouts/and healthy nutritions can help a lot!
I’m in my 40s switching careers to web dev. I’ve been in accounting n operations. There’s a$$hole people everywhere. Tech n dev gives u lots more opportunit to leave a toxic environment as well as do freelance and create a product. Sooner or later you’ll find your tribe or niche. Keep at it.
Thank you
Thanks man
"Only" 200k a year lol. That's a lot in a lot of places in the USA. I don't even make 50k at this job and they're trying to outsource all our work. Figured it was a good time to learn something new. :)
200k is def more than average and considered the top 10% income in the US.
Can you do anything freelance in this industry for smaller clients? Still trying to figuring out all you can create with these skills.
Fallow your pasión not the money! Then you will be more happier! The money will never make you happy! Thank you for sharing!
