From where they are to where they want to be

Don’t know programming -→ Want cool job / want to run a SaaS business / want to create and sell an app

What have you got to do?

  1. learn programming

  2. convince someone you know programming OR just do it

  3. deliver on that promise (or else you won’t keep the cool job)

1a. Cool but …​

Can you really get a programming job without a college degree?

Am I smart enough?
    - your worst fear ... you will be judged .. you will survive :-)

1b. What if?

It's too hard

during me years as a consultant I went to several "mini job-interviews" — and what a lot of employers ask is "do you actually know how to program". They say you wouldn’t believe how many people try get programming gigs without knowing how to program — so if you just know that, you know how to program, you’re ahead of the curve!

Stats: pay for programmers

Self made programmers get jobs as well

The freedom — cool jobs or create your own thing
