Why learn Python?
Python Institute courses are distinguished by their affordability, friendliness, and openness to the student. They all start from the absolute basics, guiding you step by step to complex problems, making you a competent and responsible software creator able to undertake different challenges in many positions in the IT industry. Having said that, there are at least five good reasons why you should learn Python:
-
Have employment security: We're living in the era of technology, in a world where technological progress never stops, and where people use numerous Python-powered devices on a daily basis, whether they realize it or not. In this world, there is an extremely high demand for programmers, and nothing indicates that this will change any time soon, if at all.
-
Earn a decent salary: Free, open-source and easy-to-learn, Python now dominates the Internet landscape, and the salaries of its programmers reflect this. With a strong foothold in the Internet of Things and AI, among others, Python Developers are now among the highest-paid programmers in the tech industry.
At any one time, there are upwards of 100,000+ unfulfilled Python jobs around the world, and currently the supply of qualified Python programmers is unable to match the demand. With the ever-increasing reliance on the Internet, and with Python playing an ever-growing role, the salary of the average Python programmer is almost surely to rise.
-
Work remotely: Most programming jobs are based in North America and Western Europe, but even if you can't get to either of those places, wherever you are right now, you can be sure that your Python skills are in great demand, and you will be paid for them.
According to an analysis carried out by The Economist, only 13% of the jobs analyzed in 2011 in a thread called "Who is hiring" mentioned the possibility of remote work. Ten years later, in 2021, it was more than 75%, with the coronavirus pandemic accelerating that change. And since programming requires little more than a computer with access to the Internet, more and more employees have the opportunity to work remotely from the comfort of their homes.
-
No need for CS/IT degree: Programmers typically need a bachelor's degree in computer science, IT, or a related field, such as mathematics or engineering, but an increasing number of programming jobs, especially those related to the more specific fields of industry, no longer require this as a prerequisite. Instead, companies and recruiters are far more interested in your programming skills and project portfolio, your expertise in a given field, and any industry-recognized credentials that can help you land a job.
Programmers can become certified in programming languages, or for specific products, and certain companies require that their programmers be certified in the products they use, or in order to set a benchmark of programming proficiency, skills and expertise each programmer should demonstrate.
-
Become a creator: Last but not least, programming skills will not only get you familiar with how software, apps, and devices work, but they will also give you a chance to translate your ideas into digital, working, and more tangible forms. This is probably one of the most fun, satisfying, and enjoyable advantages to programming – having a real impact on things, building them, and developing different features. Write your own computer programs, create your own apps, and put your thoughts and ideas to life!
