Question

1. A friend says, “My dad’s a nurse, and he constantly has to take classes to keep learning new things. I don’t want to have to do anything like that after I graduate, so I think I’ll be a computer programmer.” How would you respond to your friend?

Answer 1

I would say something like, “I can understand why you’d feel that way! It’s true that many professions, like nursing, require ongoing education to keep up with new developments. However, it’s worth noting that the tech field, including computer programming, also evolves rapidly. Technologies change, and new programming languages and tools emerge all the time. So, even as a programmer, you might find yourself taking courses or learning on your own to stay current in your field. It’s all about finding what you enjoy and being prepared for continuous learning, regardless of the career path you choose!”
