Comments by "" (@codefallacy) on "How to Make F**k-You Money with Coding" video.

I got into coding because my previous career was stressful, crazy amounts of OT, high liability, dangerous, and little to no upward mobility. After doing a job where you average 14-16 hour work days, and days off in the middle of the week. A mon-friday 9 to 5 is a vacation. And the fact i make the same amount of money while having a better worklife balance is just a perk. Dont do it just for the money, do it for your sanity

@Ehryyyyuuy i feel you, hope you can find something that fits your needs. i was lucky to have a supporting family that allowed me to experiment until i found something i liked. it was less money during the transition but once i found what i loved doing it made it all worth it. code is not the only job out there, there is project management too, which requires organization and office skills and no coding at all. look into that if it interests you is way shorter to learn then programing

@calvinripley9093 that was the same mentality i had when i chosed i major in 2012, i didnt do Computer science because i though site build tool and social media platforms would eliminate the need for developers and engineers. and im kicking myself to this day. ChatGPT is awesome and it will help reduced the work needed to get stuff done. but we are nowhere close to replacing software engineering. at least not yet. software engineering goes much deeper. i learned that after years of messing around. choose CS if it interest you but we are nowhere closed to being replaced by AI.

@zayn6725 it depends on where you live. for me in my previous job as a corrections officer i had a salary of 40k plus overtime. with overtime i made 65k per year. two years after i resigned, i landed my first tech job and i got a salary of 60k plus bonuses. and that was my first job in a small city in the US. im on my second Job as a softwsre engineer and i make more than that. its still hard, im constantly learning. working with really smart people, and overall i have less stress
