My First reason why it is good to get into is that the world is internet based, this means that computers and websites are central to the world and its information, even if you aren’t a web designer or a software engineer, you still would be better off learning about software as it has become apart of everyday life. To add onto this, if you are trying to get a job that isn’t labor based and is more office or management based, then learning some software engineering will definitely help you stand out from the rest of the people who are trying to get in.
Web design is also a very interesting subject, as there are so many ways to use the skills that you get from Web development and Design. You could make websites for a living, or design mobile apps or even make software yourself, there are so many ways to go in the WEB world. There are so many that even if you find 5 different jobs that you don’t think you’ll like, there will always be 10 more for you to look at, and even if you decide that it isn’t the thing you want to do, you still gain a helpful skill in this digital era.
A reason that I like it is that it’s pretty laid-back, if you get done with your work fast enough you don’t have anything else to do really so you can learn more things about coding, watch videos or just do something you find fun/interesting. Along with that the work they give you is easy if you know what you’re doing, making your job that much simpler to do. I find it much easier to do than something like academics just because of the fact that you’re actually doing stuff you’ll use later in your life instead of being told how to do something you’re never going to use again except for in school.
Along with that, the amount of money you can make is pretty good with some jobs having giving you 100k dollars per year for your work (https://money.usnews.com/careers/best-jobs/software-developer/salary)(https://www.indeed.com/career/software-engineer/salaries), which in this economy is insanely well off, you could save your money for 10 years and have 1 million dollars! Getting these jobs after you get out of high school or graduate from a college is very important as many other people will be also trying to get these jobs as they pay insanely well. With coding also being easy if you know how to do it well, you could easily be making huge amounts of money without doing that much work, which for most people is only available in their wildest dreams.
