DON'T START LEARNING A TECH SKILL WITHOUT READING THIS FIRST.
One of the biggest mistakes people make is choosing a tech skill based only on how much it pays. A better starting point is to ask, "What kind of person am I?" The work you'll enjoy is usually the work you'll stick with long enough to become good at.
Clarity demands that you first know yourself before learning any skill.

I need to also tell you this...
Your personality doesn't lock you into one career. You can succeed in almost any tech field if you're willing to learn. But choosing a path that naturally matches your interests makes it easier to stay motivated, especially when learning gets difficult.
The goal isn't to find the highest-paying skill. It's to find the skill you'll still enjoy learning six months from now. That's usually the one you'll become great at.
You this post bah.... Share am with your village people.
