Is it worth learning programming if there are no vacancies related to programming in the city at all?

Question

IT education

I'm 16 now, I've been learning front-end for half a year, and every month I monitored vacancies on the web, even in programming. But there are always only 1-2 vacancies per month, and then it's like '1C programmer' or rarely on the web.
Is it worth learning more? Will there be work in the future.
P/s I will study until 18-19

Answer 1

If you're 16, learn math, physics, and programming as a leftover. Not a frontend, but the basics - algorithms, data structures, complexity, different paradigms. Go to a good university, and there already get a foundation. After the second or third year you will be able to work. Starting a career without knowing anything by searching for vacancies is a road to nowhere.

Made me laugh. I am 31, I graduated from the Moscow State University, I have been working for 10 years (I receive money for development), and I am still learning.

Answer 2

It may be difficult for a junior, but now it’s more than realistic to find a remote job.
I started with freelancing, where in general no one asks about skills and only the result is required.
After 2 years, I received the first offer from the company where I now work. And I didn't even look for an offer. If you are a good performer, they will find you.
I never paid attention to vacancies in my city. If there is something interesting, then this is a collective farm and for little money.
For you, the most important thing is to gain experience in commercial development. And then they will help you with this experience and with relocation if you really want to go to work. Or, which is easier, they will invite you to a remote location. But keep in mind: inexperienced developers are not welcome to work remotely.
As an option - go for an internship for the same 1 vacancy solely for the sake of experience. The option that worked in my case was to go freelance and do small projects, gaining experience.

Answer 3

Programming is not about clicking keys. You study algorithms. Learn to use them. And what application area you choose is no longer important. You can go to lawyers and be successful, or to bearded sysadmins

Answer 4

If you are interested in this business, then study, and there will always be a job. As already mentioned, changing the location is not as big a problem as many people think. And if you focus only on vacancies at the place of residence, then you can work all your life as a loader in a warehouse without realizing your Dream.
