When you were 18 you were so lucky and brave to follow your passion and study what you liked. At 23 you realized some degrees translate themselves automatically in a career and others…ehm no 😦 What do you have to do? Simple – you need to create your own career, in 5 steps:
Study, study and keep on studying
Follow the industry’s evolution
Start working as soon as you can
Don’t be afraid to change job, whenever you feel a place is not for you, run as fast as you can!
Talk to people and ask for information and opinions.
I work in software development. I keep on writing from time to time People's Code to continue following some of my oldest passions: linguistics and language technologies. I'm Italian and I live in Luxembourg. Ah... the blog's name comes from my favorite definition of natural language: it is a shared code. It is not nice nor ugly, not simple nor difficult - we understand each other only because we share the same code and we (often) agree on it.
