Is it advisable to learn computer programming?

Does it ever hurt to gain a new skill? How about a marketable skill that also sharpens your logical reasoning abilities? Too good to be true, eh?

Well its nice to know. If you know how to program C+, you'll fly right through calculus in college. It will also help your logic and increase your IQ.

if u need it.
Reply:Yes. People who make their living programming have one of the highest paid, lowest stress jobs in the world--although it is not stress free.





I was a programmer for 10 years, and went to work straight out of high school. I was making six figures before I had finished my college degree.





Later on, when I decided to become a lawyer, people looked at me strangely and said--"But, you'll have to take a pay cut." Which was true, at least at first.





Computer programmers are problem solvers and the ability to think logically exercised on the job has been helpful solving many non-technical problems too.





Everyone who works with computers should learn at least the basics of programming--instead of having an advanced, futuristic typewrite on your desk, you will know how to make your computer your beech, and that makes you truly valuable to any employer.
