Avoiding the mistakes I made in tech!!! Back then in school when my mates were coding I was unconcerned because I had the mind set that tech is too hard and made only a chosen few can do it. So I went through school without focusing on any thing except trying my best to get good grades in order to get a good paying job after school. Then after school life happened and the only people that seemed to have it better were those guys that were tech driven in school. To start with, all of us were invited to interview and only the tech savvy guys were employed. Imagine getting a job even before NYSC. I guess this should have been enough motivation to start tech but I felt I stood a chance getting a job in my field, after all everybody cannot be into tech. Fast forward one or two years later, while those my tech friends were advancing in their career, changing jobs and moving from 150k-200k initial salary they were offered during the first job interview to over 10 million annual salary in just 2 years after graduation, I was yet to start my career as a power engineer. All I can say is ‘I GUESS NIGERIA HAPPENED TO ME’ I it was easy ti blame it on Nigeria, the truth of the matter is, I had the opportunity to learn this tech earlier but I was just too lazy to start. Whatever excuse I gave myself back then was because I was too lazy to start. The thing is, if you have a laptop, what is really stopping you from starting somewhere? Are you looking for a get rich quick scheme that never comes? Or shouldn’t you rather start now to build your career? Yes it is true that it’s never too late to start a new career but the mistake I made in tech was not starting early enough!!!
