    Thanks for your inspiration and enlightenment on the software dev jobs with entry level . I’m actually from Ghana with a degree in software engineering , have been following your channel for quiet sometime now and your words have really inspired me a lot . There’re lotta opportunities in tech that most ppl fail to realize , especially for Ghanaian youth. I would gladly recommend your channel to most students who wanna go into tech . I wish maybe one we can talk face to face online . There’re lotta ppl like me in Ghana who wants to be a good developer like u . 😊

This recession is really making me second guess my decisions and doubt myself. Whenever I find myself thinking like this I watch my favorite KZreadrs and continue applying. Thank you both for these videos!

    Keep doing the work, don’t give up, persistence and bull dog tenacity trumps intelligence and knowledge every time. In 2006 I had no job and a family to feed. My house went into foreclosure and I filed bankruptcy. I got pissed off dug deep, did the work and got my degree. Applied to every place I could, took a teaching job, kept learning the craft, and finally got a job. I was 44. Never give up on your dreams, it’s always darkness before the dawn, get pissed of, find another gear, find a way in, don’t look for a way out,there is always a way, dig deep find out what you are made of listen to that inner voice that says I know I can. As a man thinks so he is. I am living proof of that so is Kenny, what one person can do so can you. Kenny’s Dad
