Hello fellow programmers

Question

I''m 16 and I live in Bosnia and Herzegovina and i would love some advice from other programmers.
What to learn ?
Should i learn programming ?
Does it pay off to learn programming without college?(I dont have money for college)
I dont consider myself much of a creative person I'm just into computers
i know both hardware and software
i just want to know how many years will I need to have the experience enough to land a job
i'm not afraid of learning or studying I'm afraid of not finding a job here/abroad

Answer 1

If your main problem is whether you will find a job or not, you will. Provided that you're capable of one, of course. Creating (programming and stylising) a simple web page is quite easy and you'd be surprised how many small businesses are in need of a simple web page.

So, if you want to learn programming just to land a job, I'd start there. However, know what if this is the case, odds are against you being a *good* programmer.

And if you don't really like it at first, who knows? Maybe it will grow on you ;)

Answer 2

i'm just surprised that there can be "good" and "bad" programers
i thought its simple as learning a language and coding as instructed
i dont like designing stuff i just like to problem solve and see progress in things
