How to Become a Programmer

Article


Unlike what you might find in some books and articles, programming can not be actually learned in 7, 21 or even 365 days[1]. It is a cumulative process that builds up your skills day after day and year after year. However, programming can also be fun and rewarding (mentally, spiritually and financially). This guide does not promise to give a magical easy way to becoming a programmer, and the ordering of the steps is not sacred, but you'll get a general outline of how to become a programmer in one of the modern programming fields


Step One : Move to India

The truth of the matter is, if you aint fixing something here in the country (whatever country) , then any job that can is being shipped out to low paying countries like china and India. So you can forget about "brain" work , it's all leaving the country. All the western countries.

Learn to fix something thats here. Cars, elevators, computers, whatever. Shipping a physical object to another country for repair is far too pricy. Repair men are the only safe bets for a career these days.

Other "safe" jobs are cashiers and sales men , but these are scum jobs that no one really wants that pay the minimum legally permitted and are not likely to ever see a pay raise.

Medical staff is good, forget about doctors their numbers are too controlled (250 a year) but running an x ray machine or other device, playing nurse and cleaning up "medical" messes, these can't be outsourced and they pay well. Either because they require skill and education , or because they're unpleasant and no body noooooooo body !!! wants to do them so they have to pay a decent salary. (Hey buddy, how'd you like 8$ / hour to wipe some old fogeys bum twice a day ? No ? How about 10 ? 12 ? 15 ? ) And they all require you to be physically present.

We need to ban robots. Last thing we need is some guy in india operating a robot remotely to do this stuff. Then we're really toast. Thats when you start closing the borders and everyone runs their own economy and builds their own stuff.
