Make sure she learns to prioritize her health. Sitting and staring at a screen for hours and hours day after day is not good for you - and is unfortunately what a lot of people in this field do. But it doesn't have to be like that! There are videos on here about coding and health and avoiding burnout. And maybe when she is older and it's age - appropriate - talk to her about boys/men/professors/employers/coworkers and develop strategies to handle situations where she may be discriminated against for being female. This is something I was not prepared for and I wish I had been warned and prepped beforehand.

I had left my computer science course I was going for which I absolutely loved.

But I realize the longer I stay the more I'm digging myself in.

@@m1sschocolateface The biggest pro for me is being able to get to know a population that I wouldn't otherwise get to. That part is very rewarding. The scheduling of working 3 days a week can be seriously exhausting, but also nice that I have 4 days off in a week to do other things rather than 3. Another pro is the ability to work literally anywhere, and if you're good, you can get jobs in tons of different specialties, which is super fun. With that being said, on the 3 days you work, that is all you do, and it's very tiring. Nursing is a physical career where you walk thousands of steps each day. It's easy to get burnt out in today's healthcare system. Nurses, in general, are stressed out while working. It's quite a bit of pressure to keep all your patients happy and healthy, and more times than not you are putting the patients health/happiness over your own. I'm hoping to exit the hospital system to find a better work/life balance. You work weekends and holidays and you are scheduled 3 months in advance so it is hard to be spontaneous with your plans. Just for a background on myself. I'm 26, love travelling and hanging with friends, and I am very health conscious. I also have only worked in the hospital setting as a medical-surgical nurse and now a mother baby nurse. Feel free to message me with any questions at all.

Two things I recommended to all my students: try to learn all the math you can, and take some computer classes regardless of your major. It's nice to hear a story like yours since so many high school student feel so lost searching for a career path.

It's reassuring that tech was a rewarding career for you, I feel a little the same way having gone from a science degree in biology then realizing that research is horrible, then trying out pharmacy and that not working out. So hopefully I can learn to code and get a job also.

I think self studying can definitely provide the same results. You just need to have the discipline for it and make sure you study the right resources (both was something that coding boot camp helped me with)

I’ve been a nurse for 3 years and I’m 25 . Being in the cath lab and getting called in a lot for patients having heart attacks is stressful. I’m looking for a career in IT as well and hoping it works out

Hi Jessica! I really enjoyed this video! I am also making a career switch as well! Currently work as a client rep at an investment company in Irvine! I’m planning to teach myself, and hopefully land a job in the tech field. I’m starting out learning python right now, and love it so far! Do you have any tips on landing a job with no degree? Thanks

hi! I will have this question answered in an upcoming q&a video!

Awesome video ..! I’m currently researching coding. Can you speak on math? Can a stay at home mother jump into coding? What studying advice do you give an 33 women to stay focused and determined?

Yes definitely possible for a stay at home mom , especially now with all the remote job options. Just keep gaining experience with coding by creating projects and don’t give up!

Software Engineering is my passion too. However, I'm still working on a computer science degree. How do you list your coding experience in your resume? Do you list your completion of these bootcamps on your resume?

Yes I do! Will answer more in detail in my next q&a video

Great video :) Do you listen to music while working?

I'd love to chat with you sometime about your experience. I was in tech services/HC interaction for many years and already have a masters (not in CS), but I wanted to do either DBA or Sdev. So I've taken a ton of classes at a college (mostly sdev, some dbms though) and started looking for that new job but I can't just move to anywhere in the country. Were you applying all over the US or a particular area? I'm looking in a 6 million ppl area currently.

Just saw this! I will answer this in the q&a video I plan to record on Saturday. Let me know what other questions you have!

Hello, nice video btw! I’m 16 years old, and I’m starting to get into coding. I’ve watched many KZread videos on how people have landing software development jobs. Also, many people making the videos have suggested that boot camp is a better alternative to going to college for computer science. What is your take on this?

I've been working in accounting department for three years but i've realized that I wanted to be a software engineer soon. Im currently studying basic programming and hopefully I can get a job after few weeks.

I thought I wanted to do accounting but after seeing videos on KZread it looks boring. Do you recommend it as a career ? My heart’s not in it but it’s a “safe” choice. I think deep down I know it won’t be fulfilling.

Hello Jessica, my name is Jay. I came across your video and watched just now. First want to say thank you for making this video. I feel like I have a similar story. I do currently hold a bachelors in Business. I thought I could go far with it but it has taken me nowhere. Now I live in a state where I feel like it’s more tech related. So I decided to try a boot camp with flatiron. I have no prior experience at all. I know you mention code academy. What are some recommendations to test the waters before I actually start down this path. I am super nervous and not sure if I’m doing the right thing. Thank you I advance.

Hi! I share some resources in this video description: q&a: all things software engineer 😊

This is so encouraging. I'm currently a fashion designer, and I really want a career change into tech. I just feel inadequate and that maybe i'm not "smart enough" lol.

Your mindset is everything 🙌🏼 as long as you believe you can do it, you’ll get there!

Could you answer the following in your Q&A video?: What was coding boot camp like? And would you recommend Coding Dojo overall? What is it like working in Blockchain? What should someone looking to get into blockchain dev look into studying?

You just gave me so much hope ... I’m 24 and figuring out what path I need to go. I graduated with a Communications major to make my parents happy about getting a degree but I wasn’t passionate about anything. I was trying to go for nursing but now I’m having second thoughts .... would love to go into the tech industry but I don’t know where to start or what to do. Every information is so daunting ...

it is! so definitely don't overwhelm yourself , my q&a videos might be of help to you!

What did you do at the start up in Irvine and what do you do now? I am a mechanical engineering student interested in healthcare and coding and want to make a combination of the two, but always had some negative stigma towards software engineering and knowing almost nothing about it did not see it as creative... what made it creative for you?

Your road map is literally mine. neuro major, in a masters program rn, working as a clinical research coordinator. Scared to take the leap into tech, because I know the commitment of med school and idk if I have that passion!
