Jamal’s Answer

I think if you have some personal projects or school projects that you can present in your resume then i do not think you have a hard time finding jobs. Tech jobs are needed more than anything else these days since most of the job utilize some sort of technologies which requires expertise to develop and maintain them.


So, make sure that you polish your coding skills and if you do not have a college degrees make sure you build some personal projects that you can present to recruiters and hiring managers in order to validate your experience and skillsets.




I hope this helps and good luck to you!

Coding is a very lucrative career. Almost all coding jobs have at least a decent wage. You can go into a few different paths, there's dev ops, QA, development, system engineering, data engineering, but the majority of coders work as developers. There's always a need for developers because of how our economy is becoming more and more dependent on software. So all else being equal I would focus on the skills required to be a software engineer/developer.

If you want to make millions of dollars with code you can go into fields like machine learning for example. Some of those people make 7 figure salaries but they mostly consist of Ph.d's so that a big commitment. Another very lucrative option is working as an analyst for a big financial company like a quant hedge fund. They write a lot of scripts to compile data but their job skill set revolves much more around data science than coding. Yearly income here can also be in the 7 figures with bonus.

But there are millions of jobs where you can be a pure software engineer and still make a few hundred thousand which is a lot of money. So unless you are really looking for a luxurious life you don't have to go into these super niche fields.

Joe’s Answer

Programming jobs come in many varieties.


Broken down by industry some popular best bets that are high-paying by nature are Healthcare, Law, and the Financial Sector.


Then there is the type of job you want. As Molly mentioned above, one well paying job could be cyber security. An often overlooked differentiation in web development are working on websites VS working on web apps - the latter typically paying more and, from my experience, being more satisfying.
