Why would someone like me want to be a software engineer? I have been a stay-at-home mom for most of my adult life. I’ve never had a career before(only jobs to fill in the money gaps). So for me I had to really had to know why I wanted to become a software engineer.

Here are my reasons:

  1. I want to do something amazing with my brain.
  2. I want to teach my children something they can really use in the future.

3. I want to do something creative whenever i feel like it (If i could create my own world I would).

4. I want computers to do my bidding and get paid for it.

5. I want to help others do something creative. I the more creations we have the closer we are to solving the world’s problems.

6. I want to be fancy. I think coding is fancy stuff and i want to show off to my friends and family.

7. I want to prove to myself I can do it.

Thank you for reading this and hope you love your reasons as much as I do.
