As a 30 year old learning C and C++ (a project I want to contribute to uses both), where does one look to earn money with said languages? To land entry level jobs?
I have some genuine interest and it won't be ling until I'm able to write small to medium programs. At that point working in an unrelated field is a bottleneck because I don't have time to spend programming. Hence I need a job so I can focus my time on actually doing it. Any advice? How I prove I'm good enough for entry level even though I'm "old" without a relevant degree? Avoiding employers that will push bad coding habits on me?
- geitir 4y agoC and C++ are pretty specialized this day and age in my opinion, you might have better opportunities breaking into a programming career if you at least get working knowledge of more popular languages
- boppo1 4y agoI've done some projects in python and JS. I just never felt confident in what was really going on. Reading K&R helped me connect a lot of dots.
