Absolutely! Thousands and thousands have people have put in the work and shifted careers into software development, many of those without degrees.
I did it at 34.
In this video, I want to share two paths for those looking to change careers to Software Engineer in 2022 and specifically one I think is the fastest route in getting your foot in the door.

Regarding AWS and prior experience, if you are not "computer-savvy" or do not have a basic to intermediate understanding of servers or computer networking, etc. then shoot to pass the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam first (alongside Python of course). This certification is largely fundamentals of cloud computing and will help a lot as a prerequisite to an associate level cert.

@jaanjam8432 2 года назад

Hello thanks for the idea, can I ask if going the aws plus python way is viable for entry level? There does not seem many junior, no prior experience and education jobs in DevOps or am I wrong? Thanks and this is a great idea btw to differentiate from front end path.

Just found your channel today and I'm impressed, you've got a subscriber. I've been learning the first route you described (html/css/javascript) for about 4 months and have been struggling to keep interest/enjoy it. So recently I've been reading about and playing with python a bit on the side and have been having a lot of fun. A friend of mine works for IBM as a cloud engineer and really enjoys his work. This second path you described might just be a better fit for me.

@cryptosecuritytools 2 года назад

thanks so much Travis. What you recommend, although biased by your love for devops, I think is gold. At the end of the day I want to do something in coding that puts in me in demand and commands a good paycheck. And on the side I will work on my own entrepreneurial pursuits. So many other people on YT suggest very standard routes to transitioning into coding without thinking about the competition and opportunities. Again, thank you!

@lepidoptera9337 Год назад

In other words, you are completely useless as both a teacher (I smell burnout and disenchantment with dealing with stupid students) and as a software engineer (you have zero relevant experience). Anybody who can program can learn Python in a few hours, so why in the world do you think that knowing basic Python is a valuable skill? It's not even a language that a large project should use. Python is a prototyping language. You can solve in-house engineering tasks with it (like test benches) because it's the better scripting language and that's it. Python is NEVER useful for production code and it's NEVER good for a user app (there is not even an easy way to distribute it to users, if you haven't noticed, unless you ship it in a giant container that contains the complete runtime system).

@rakkasaganga6892 2 года назад

Kinda true man, I've spent about 2 years learning web development after dropping from college. But I've still not landed a single job and I also tried Upwork and other freelancing sites, but of no use. I feel like I've wasted my precious 2 years on learning web dev, the market has got really saturated, and every new guy going for it. And also It's really hard to keep up with all those new frameworks and technologies. I'm wondering why I didn't go for this Aws certification earlier, the certificate has got some weight to it. And the cloud market isn't as saturated as other IT markets.

I am a CNC Machinist and I make decent money but I'm coming to realize my calling isn't where I thought it was and I should pursue my original passion which is anything related to computers. I took CS in school and learned some Java. I've always messed with websites and little coding projects, I finally decided I'm going to give it a go. Progress will be slower since I work 45+ hours a week, but I'll get there. I've been torn between something Data Related (data analytics), web dev (front end, eventually working to full-stack), or Python. Your approach here seems interesting and makes sense intrinsically to me in a way. I can study python and use it for personal projects and pair it with AWS for a possible career move. Subbed

I wanted to thank you for the knowledge shared in this video. I am 23 years old and I am in a frustrated experience at the civil engineering college, it has been some time since I realized that I no longer have any affection for the area and I have been torturing myself forcing myself to continue studying. The thoughts were always the same: "I've spent so much time and effort here, I can't just drop everything and start something else time-consuming from scratch that will cost me even more time, I need a job, and preferably one that doesn't make me unhappy." then I discovered that I don't need to go to college to qualify as a dev, and that was perfect for me. I've always loved computers and all kinds of technology, I have all the essential logical reasoning base, and the best: being self-taught has always been the best way of studying for me. I finally feel excited about something after years! I will be starting my studies soon and your video was of great help, thank you!

Feels like I am seeing myself in your comment, I am 22 years old and doing a Finance degree but programming and technology is what I am truly passionate about

Hey man. I went through this in college. Do what makes you happy. My one regret was not changing careers/studying sooner. I studied civil engineering, graduated and been one for the past 3 years. Only now have I realized, it’s time to make the change and stop holding back. Chase your dreams and do what you’d love. Don’t force yourself into anything

OMG man, I feel like you're telling my story 😂 Because I also graduated as a civil engineer and it has been two years in this field and I started to feel like I'm not fitting in, I always loved coding and programming, though I have never experienced any of them before and, now I want to shift my career but in the same time I feel like I have spent some much time and energy in the civil engineer field and I will be wasting all of them if I have done this. But now I dare to do it.

@@bluerenger8 Honestly what is 6-7 years to the span of our lifetime? We got more life to live. Think about it like this. Would you rather be stuck doing this until retirement for decades or take the jump and actually enjoy the work? Worst case scenario is if it doesn't work out, you can always jump back or find something else

@@AnthonyBui exactly, and that's why I'm convinced that it's not too late and we have much more time left.💖

Travis, what is your take for becoming a web developer where you have JavaScript on the front end and Python for the backend? Figured this could be a good mix incase in the near future you wanted to pivot to DevOps AWS. Since you'll already know Python, you'll be at an advantage. I guess you would need to focus on the essentials which are the certifications which you mentioned for AWS. Would appreciate any thoughts on this topic, thank you.

I'm 38 and going in with no experience. Going to try the Web development route. We just had a baby who's now 3 months old so the challenges are there. But giving myself 6 months to see if I can get my foot in the door somewhere

As a self-taught individual, I just find it so difficult to make reasonable deadlines. I can spend an entire night just getting an application to RUN as intended, which can be 1 5 min. video in a 4 hour course.. As a recent example, was learning Axoniq framework with the Spring Boot/Spring Cloud Java framework for CQRS architecture in microservices.. I had some advanced concepts understood and implemented the day before with regards to saga lifecycles. The day after, I spent all 4 hours after my day-job just trying to get the Saga lifecycle working again. The issue was a combination of tokens cached by the framework and the tokens within the DB which were out of sync because my computer restarted while Axon was still running in my Docker container on dev. machine, rendering inconsistent tokens... It's not something obvious, and not something this "master" course even mentioned. Things like this happen all the time as a self-taught dev., and it's the reason why I've never been able to reasonably expect to have both materials understood AND portfolio-worthy projects created in, say, 6 months.. Just giving my 2 cents and would love anyone's input :)
