Is it possible to get a Coding job at age 14?

Question

I am currently fluent in both Java and Python, and am learning C++ right now.

Answer 1

Robel Abraham What do you mean by being fluent in both Java and Python and how did you assess your fluency?

Answer 2

I think you should..
Match your skill with required skill for job and apply for it. It never mentioned about age in any coding job what actually matters is your experience.

It is not physical job that you must have to be 18+/20+.

Robel Abraham Hmmm... That link isn't working for me with the hash text. It's probably better to just use the main link for those on mobile devices with Quora app installed.

That said, I must agree... this answer is consistent with my understanding of fluency.

While this is an excellent answer from someone with 30 years of experience as a professional software engineer, I'm curious how you came to develop this level of fluency at the age of 14. Would you mind sharing this?

I'm going somewhere with this in regards to your original question. I just need additional context.

Answer 4

I am also 14 and I learnt web development and made my own website at GitHub
here's the link👇

I have also made my YouTube channel

I have learnt html CSS JavaScript ,c++,java ,kotlin,python,PHP

And my first language was python
I started at sololearn and also learnt from internet

As in my case I don't have a desktop I learnt from phone.

So,at 14 you can't actually get a job right now but you can prepare for further as you like coding at this age you can do a lot till you reach 18 and get a nice coding job.

David Carroll could someone write complex code in paper and it perfectly works?
One answer to the main question: There are some sites which offers a freelancer ground for any experienced programmers. But I'm unsure whether it is suitable for soo Youngs. Because if you are of 14 like me, you may have school. Needless to say, you would have homeworks, exams, studies and lots of stuffs. How such one can do jobs and it is programming, not other easy stuffs?

Answer 6

No. But if some freelancer like is possible. Or indie game development.

Answer 7

Arnav Kumar That's a nice PWA you've got! I admire your coding skills at age 14!

Answer 8

Ore thanks for appreciating!

Answer 9

I am 13 years old and I am learning Python and Web Deveploment . I have also learnt C . You can, of course ,never "learn" something truly . These are very basic languages , I think, but these are small steps
I may not be as good as Arnav Kumar or the other well talented people here, I am very interested .
Here is a small website I made :

I have also made other projects with Arduinos and using Python to understand/interpret the data .

Answer 10

In Italy you can find a job by the age of 16.
However it is better you should have finished the High school in order to possess an higher level of education (math knowledge in particular) .

But I don't know how things work in your country.

But nothing is impossible. If you have already learned java and Phyton perfectly you are real pro!
Good luck and good coding!!

Answer 11

Not really. Gotta be 18 at the least. Its not impossible though, as a freelancer

Answer 12

Same question how would you assess one's fluency to consider yourself good enough for position?
