Moms that want to start a new career or get back into the workforce will start to investigate a wide range of options and plans. You may be one of them. Remote work options, getting out of the house to be with grownups more, and fields to enter are all things that will be going through your mind. You may come across many benefits that could occur when you enter the world of programming during your research. But, you're not a techie, you'll convince yourself. You can be, though.
Learning programming and becoming a coding goddess can seem overwhelming and impossible at first, but it doesn't have to be. You can learn AI, HTML, Java, Python, and Java Script just to name a few, with the best of them. You might even become better than the best with the right job and support system.
You have to get past that idea that you can't do it. And, if you know someone that wants to get into that field, you can help them develop the right mindset to do that. There are many ways where we can empower moms to learn programming today. Learn about them here.
Online Resources and Community
The online resources and community in the programming world are extensive. People that are thinking about getting into programming, and also thinking of not doing it, may not know about this. When you know a mom, or if you are one, that is thinking about a career in coding, knowing this resource and community is there can be incredibly helpful.
This could be just what you need to feel empowered to get out there and try it on your own. You won't feel so left on a programming island if you are able to access these resources.
You Don't Need to Be a Millennial With a Degree
One of the many things that make the difference between a mom getting a job and a mom starting a career is the educational and professional requirements that they just don't have. Another factor is age. Older women are not hired as often in many places, it's not just an urban myth.
With programming, you just need to want to do it and need to want to learn it. Your marketability in the hiring market will depend on both of those things, and not your age or education. You do need certification in programming, but you don't need to have a degree. Knowing that anybody, even you, can do this, is an empowering first step.
The Trade is Diverse
This means that there is a web page for everything, and an application or program for every industry in the world. There is a programmer for that. In this field, you don't have to have a specific niche wheelhouse, although it would help you to learn one. You may not even learn one until you get into the job market and land a job in a specified industry.
The trade here is diverse. Learn the coding language, and then you can use this skill to go after jobs that tap into the kind of work that you really want to do. This is a language development mindset. When you know the language, you have the power to look at options in your field. You don't have that when you start, and this uncertainty is part of the sense of overwhelming feelings that you have about starting this job.
Your Creativity Awaits
As a mom, you are already a creative problem solver. That is the fundamental job description of coding and most tech-based work. In programming, you can merge this skill with your creativity to become one of the most talented in your department, your company, or even your region or world.
If you are looking for work that can help you to enhance your inborn creative genius, creativity is on your doorstep. With the different programming languages, you can find creativity in that field.
- AI: The field of artificial intelligence includes fun work like building robots and the idea of Face ID.
- Java: The web page you are looking at can animate one day because of you.
- HTML: There's a website now, before there wasn't, you did that.
These are just a few examples.
Empower Yourself With Programming
When you are a mom, entering the workforce is a daunting thought. You can do it in programming very easily if you have the right mindset, the right support system, and are able to see where your creativity can find itself in this world.
