When you learn computer programming you learn how to check your work for details, how to apply logic and how to persist at a task. You also learn how to ask a good question, often in written form. Finally you learn how to collaborate because much programming today is accomplished in teams. These timeless skills and learning behaviors will endure far longer than any programming language.
There are many benefits to learning computer coding. And even if you didn’t learn how to program computers in your youth, you can definitely still learn in college. One of the main benefits of knowing computer code is that you have many career paths available to you. There is not just one career that you can do if you study computer programming. Programmers are needed in almost every career field in existence. Not only are programmers needed, but they are in high demand because not very many people know how to code.
Another benefit to learning how to code computers is that you can usually work from home. Many programmers can work most of the time at home, and go into the office for a little bit each week. Some people do not like or do not do well working from home, so these people could go into the office and work. The point is that it’s a flexible position. You’re not tied down to just following one way of doing things.
All in all, learning how to code computers is a wise career move. Learning how to code is our modern “superpower,” enabling us to better connect with each other and advance our technology.
