I know what I want out of life and I want to do it quickly. Ultimate goal is to become a software engineer. But I know there are steps to take to make it there. I'm going to school right now by the way for that same reason. But I just barely started school. It's a online school by the way. A reputable and regionally accredited one too. I did my research. I just want to pick up the pace and get a computer related job.
Few of the reasons I need to do this in a hurry. My unborn son is due to be born within two months. I want to provide for him and my wife. I don't want my wife to go back to work. She really wants to stay home and raise our son. A white collar computer job pays well enough for my family in my state of Utah.
I have dabble here and there in programming but nothing concrete. I want to change that.
The reason I am posting this because I want to know. What is the quickest computer related skill I can learn and obtain a job with that new found skill? I don't mind that job being full-time, part-time or doing freelance work. As long as I'm bringing in some extra income.
Do I learn HTML and CSS? Do I study for A+ certification test? Should I learn Excel?
I want to do this for my growing family. I hope someone here can help out. Thank you.
