You want to learn to code because you want more money. Let's just be honest about it.

First off - there are many other ways to make a desirable income without learning a difficult skill like coding.

You can do sales.

You could be a product manager.

Maybe start an illegal gambling den?

Have you considered selling large quantities of drugs perhaps?

If you do decide to create software for money, just realize you may never crack six figures, you're likely to be laid off at least once and you have to keep up with technology which changes fast AF.

Is anyone still here?

Here's the great news - if you do enjoy coding and are willing to do things that make you uncomfortable, you can have dramatic financial upside.

I have a process I've been following to maximize my earning potential as a developer and stay employed which I want to share with you.
