Learn To Code Before Year's End
You've heard it before, and you'll hear it again: you should really, really learn to code. It's not just the hot, cool, new tech startups that need coders. It's everyone. Hospitals, education, etc., etc.
Here's another interesting thing: as more people get into tech, the ability to remain competitive gets more and more cutthroat. Specifically programming positions will decline 8% to 302,200 positions over the next decade as businesses outsource these roles to less expensive countries. Here's the good news: programming jobs overall are growing 12% faster, and the number of jobs that require coding knowledge is increasing to the tune of seven million new positions in 2015 alone.
So if you don't have a fancy, formal computer science degree and want to join the well-paid ranks of people who are able to operate in a cross-functional way, we have great news: you can. Increasingly, professionals are relying on more informal pieces of training like this 2018 Learn to Code Bundle to give them the baseline knowledge they need to perform jobs that are in high demand.
In case you're curious, the five major job categories where coding is now a factor in getting hired are:
- Information Technology (IT) worker
- Data Analysts
- Artists and designers
- Engineers
- Scientists
And the fields where coding is a new factor to joining the team:
- Finance
- Manufacturing
- Health Care
