I don't know what to choose

[333ttomi]

hello everyone, I hope you are having a good day.

I'm hesitating between learning front end programming (which will take me at least a year to have the chance to get a job in it), learning wordpress (which is much faster but the income is clearly lower) or learning to be an appointment setter.

my current goal is to get money so I can do better projects, I don't think these are things I will do in the long term but maybe the advice of someone here who knows can help me decide.

thank you very much

learn full stack and be good at it
then you will get higher income + fewer competitors

if you are looking for mediocre paths then you will get a mediocre income

it sounds hard but this is the truth I have learned from wasting 2 years looking for fast ways and shortcuts

this sounds like really good advice

it's probably the one that will take me the longest but in the long run I'll be most thankful I did it.

thank you so much for your response I really appreciate it.

If you're worried about the here and now, you can learn WP and the income will sustain you untill you learn front end or full stack l, like @SeasonedCode suggested.

It's not 2 or 1 year. If you have no experience, about 5 years to get $2 - $5k salary writing enterprise level software (varies by country). Plus there's talent involved in this field. Wouldn't try without nerves of steel.

Where? Here, developers with no experience can earn $5K.

Weird you can make $5k without experience. I saw most people get stuck at $2k for years and get there in 3 - 5 years. It's in Poland.

Developers with a degree, though.
There's ton of competition over smart developers here in Israel, even without experience.

I wouldn't say wordpress earns less than front-end. It depends on the complexity of the sites you are going to build.

Big difference. Diploma in this field is almost necessary these days unless you're good at freelancing.

So what do you recommend?

and now what I need the most is money but in the future my idea is to have some business like mj demarco millionare fastlane (I still have no idea what business but whatever it is I will probably need money).

So what stage are you in right now? have you started learning any?

I recently finished learning ccs (the basics) and I am learning js

by learning you mean reading?

you need lots and lots of practice before you can use that skills to make money, could take years

yes I'm sure when I said one year I only meant to be front end and junior class (having to be several hours every day and with the chance to get a contact).

I'm doing both at the same time but the question is just to guide me.
