From wage slave to software engineer
Learning to code changed my life.
I was living paycheck-to-paycheck. Now I have a home, a wife, a baby, and a job where I'm treated with respect. Hopefully I can provide some inspiration for other people out there learning to code!
🚨 I Quit My Job and it Changed My Life 🚨
When I was 21, I was stuck in a terrible job—55-hour work weeks, micromanaging bosses, and a salary so low I could’ve made more at McDonald's. It was a soul-crushing experience, and one morning, I realized I'd rather be in a car accident than go to work. That was my breaking point.
💡 The Hard Truth About The Job Market
I learned the hard way that if you don’t have hard skills, you’re replaceable. I had a degree in economics, but theory doesn’t pay the bills. That’s when I decided to learn to code.
🔥 How Learning to Code Changed Everything
I took night classes for two years.
I became a software engineer.
I bought a house.
I went from paycheck-to-paycheck to financial security.
💻 Is It Still Worth Learning to Code in 2025?
Yes! AI is changing things, but every job is becoming a tech job. If you can automate boring tasks, you become more valuable. That’s how you escape the wage slave trap.
