5. It gives you the privilege to work from any part of the world
Reasons Why You Should Choose a Career in Tech – Tech is like a lingua franca. No matter the path you choose and where you learn it, it stays the same everywhere you go. It is similar to a career passport for the world. It can take you anywhere and everywhere.
However it can’t be the same with many other career paths. For example, when you study law, you will only be opportune to learn the law of that particular country or even state (unless you specialize in international law).
If you are a doctor, you will need to have your license transfered whenever you want to change a geographical area.
Same thing applied to political science, your knowledge are mostly applied directly to a particular government. In other words, many fields are localized, and they don’t easily transfer to other places.
But with computer science and programming what you learn somewhere in the world is always applicable to anywhere. There are no certifications or licenses that need to transfer, and there are no language barriers.
Everything in technology is universally in English; you learn it once, and it follows you anywhere and everywhere. Isn’t that cool?
Why does these matter? Let’s say that you find love in a foreign country and you decide to move there. As a tech person, once you can legally work in the country, you can just go there and do it. No extra schooling is generally needed.
Tech opens the door to interviews and jobs without any geographical obstacles. It is pretty amazing that once you have the skills, you can also work 100% remotely for any company in the world without having to move at all.
