β¨ My Student Achieved 176k a Month in Tech in Just 2 Years! β¨
I just wanted to share a short story dahil baka may makuha rin kayong aral dito. My student reach out to me last Thursday at nag papa-salamat dahil na achieve narin daw niya ang 6 digits na salary.
Sobrang nakaka proud dahil this student of mine wasnβt the smartest in the class and wasnβt even doing very well in programming pero alam nyo ba kung anong pinag kaiba nya sa iba? Siya ay very passionate at merong burning passion maging successful in the future. I'm 100% sure na bago nya yan marating, isang damakmak na sacrifices ang ginawa nya.
Siya yung student ko na gabing gabi, mag cha-chat sakin para i-share yung struggle nya. Hindi mahihiyang sabihin kung saan siya mahina dahil gusto nya i-improve yung sarili nya.
He achieved this salary even though he wasnβt skilled in programming. What he did was explore the tech industry, find the position that suited him best, and focus on that area. Programming isnβt everything in the tech industry.
I often read posts in IT groups about students struggling, especially with their programming subjects, and worrying about whether they still have a future in IT, CS, or IS. Some are even considering switching courses.
One of the most important skills in IT is being resourceful. We need to learn to explore the internet and find answers to our questions on our own.
Programming or development isnβt the only career path in IT. Like my student, who realized programming wasnβt his strength, he shifted his focus toward design and eventually became a Product Lead.
Sa mga hindi nakakaalam, here are just a few of the many career paths in our tech field:
1. Network Administration: Setting up and managing network infrastructures like routers, switches, and firewalls.
2. Cybersecurity: Protecting systems and networks against cyberattacks.
3. Database Management: Maintaining and optimizing database systems.
4. IT Support: Assisting end-users with troubleshooting and system setup.
5. Project Management: Planning to ensure smooth project delivery.
6. Business Analysis: Analyzing business processes and creating business requirements.
7. Software Testing: Testing applications to ensure quality.
I know some of this may still feel overwhelming or unclear, but donβt worry or be afraid. All of these can be learned online.
Many of us with experience in the IT industry went through similar challenges and started with little knowledge. Just enjoy learning and the journey itself β€οΈ.
