>>13835405In my country the average wage is like 400-500 euros and as a newbie python programmer I can make 700 euros. And the pay can only get better from here as I get more experience and/or switch to other languages that are more in demand, like C#. So it's quite a bit more than just feeding yourself.
>Besides, everyone already knows how to codeYou must be living in NASA HQ or something. Most people 30 or over can't use much more than a browser. Out of all the people I met in uni half didn't know what a command line is. You're giving people way too much credit.
>I recommend learning ChineseThat would take a few years, and if I wanted to spend a few more years in school I could just pick another field like mechanical engineering and get a BA in that. Coding is the fastest route to a well paying plan B.
