Software developer is the only job that:

  • Makes you look smart and dumb at the same time
  • The project is not working and you don't know why and the project is working and you don't know why
  • People quarrelling over which tools is the best and to use when they are... just a tool

On a bright side, software developer is also the only job that:

  • Anyone can learn and get a job that pays well regardless of your background (age, sex, race, nationality, education, work experience, etc.)
  • Potential of making money in other areas like freelancing, consulting, starting a tech business, teaching online and much, much more! - you are not limited to a job
  • People will stop at nothing to help you succeed in your work/study
