In today’s job market, careers are disappearing left and right with improved technology, automation, and artificial intelligence. But one career option looks brighter than ever: being a developer or web host provider / designer. Here are the most promising directions for becoming a developer:
Embedded Development
Today we use have more microcircuits than a huge PC has. TVs, refrigerators, cars, telephones, machine tools, industrial equipment, in general, everything including smoke-free cigarettes are made using these microcircuits. However, these electronic equipment being assembled must be well programmed and someone should write this program. That’s exactly what Embedded developers are.
As a rule, that main language they use is C ++, but also Assembler, and even languages of high difficulty like Java. C ++ and Assembler languages are not the easiest, but the fact that apart from them you need to be acquainted with more specific hardware, as far as you understand, does not make the task easier. On the other hand, the work to be done is rather interesting and with a lot of obstacles to be overridden. If you like programming robots, alarms and writing your own firmware on Android this direction is perfect for you to choose.
Another pleasant addition to being an Embedded developer is your workplace. Unlike other programmers, who have only one of two monitors with a single PC, yours will be similar to cyberpunk one. Multiple monitors, a couple of PCs and portable PCs, disassembled hardware everywhere etc. The real perspectives include good salary, multiples ways of development, the great demand of the specialists that have such skills on a quite high level.
Web Design
It is impossible to imagine any modern company without its personal website. That’s why web designers won’t be unemployed. Usually, PHP language is used. However, modern specialists do their best to substitute this one and work with Ruby, Bootstrap, or Python since PHP system operates without changes for many years. Moreover, there so many specialists really good at web design so it is rather difficult to find the job with such direction chosen.
As tendencies for website designing change, web designers also will be in a great demand. Moreover, all the doors for the further development are opened. If you are really good at it, it won’t be difficult for you to find the job. According to my experience, despite the fact that this direction is rather propagated and developed, I wouldn’t choose it as a primal occupation since the situation is very unstable. The more languages you know, the more advantages you have over other developers and regardless of the disadvantages, web design will also have its customers due to a large number of websites on the internet.
Entrepreneurship
Web designers are excellent at problem solving, strategy, numbers, and many other things that go hand in hand with entrepreneurship. Web developers can start their own business as entrepreneurs or startup founders on a small scale or large tech company.
Do Developing
If you aren’t sure about your current career path, look no further than becoming a professional web developer. It’s a career path with a lot of promise, potential, and profit.
