In this age and time, coding is as close as we&#x27;d ever get to being gods. I mean we literally create something from nothing. Not to mention that the world becomes your oyster. I&#x27;m 20 years old and been making 60k a year for the past couple of years freelancing on the side of college. While my friends fear for their future it&#x27;s as bright as it could be for me, and i&#x27;m already receiving offers all around the world to work. But if you&#x27;re neither interested in power nor money then you&#x27;ll be able to find and share knowledge once you start coding. You literally can never stop learning.<p>The usual excuses are &quot;i&#x27;m too old&quot;, &quot;i don&#x27;t have enough time&quot;, &quot;i&#x27;m not talented&quot;... Well you&#x27;re never too old to learn something new, and as for time at first you only need an hour a day to get into coding, i don&#x27;t recommend throwing yourself into it, at first just start slow. And trust me its true that some people are talented in coding, but the people that make it are the ones that love it and work at it everyday until they master it.<p>Now comes the part &quot;What should i learn?&quot; Well it really depends on you, coding has multiple domains, but i always divide it into 3 big categories Software development, Web development and mobile development. All of them are good domains, and you can start in anyone of them and then specialize. For example if you choose web development you can either continue as a frontend, backend or a fullstack developer...<p>Learn to code. It will change your life for the better.
