should i go for career in website development or computer games programming?

We Answered:

Coming from a similar background, I'm afraid to say that I would go with neither of those options!

Firstly let's tack website development. The biggest problem is that there are LOTS of people already doing it! It's a very saturated market and so whilst it's easy to get into, actually earning a steady income is very difficult if you're just going it alone from a home business. Money may be good, but actually sourcing the work as a new player in the industry will be tough - you may well be better off getting a role in an already well established web-design company if web development is the option you want to take.

Secondly, games programming. I really hope that you have actually done some - because it is nowhere near as fun as it sounds! Once again this is a task that lots of people already have the skills to do, although it is not as saturated as the wed development market. If you do wish to proceed down this route you will need prior experience before you go to uni, as more and more people who like gaming are taking courses so you should strive to excel at it... so that you can get recognition and employment! Low level coding is not a big earner, you will need to demonstrate your abilities to do much more than that whilst you are at university to ensure you get a better position when you leave.

I currently work as a project manager for a very large retail company in their IT sector. The choice of career never even entered my mind when I was at university, however being here I have to admit it's the best role I've had. I had considered working (and I actually applied for) several games programming roles... however turned them all down once I got a chance to see what the job actually entailed!

Look at what your skills are - do you enjoy coding for hours and hours? If so then perhaps a programming role might suit you, but remember that this doesn't pay all that well. Are you more creative? Perhaps then something like games *design* is more up your street, rather than games programming. Or are you good with timescales and working with others? If so then a career as a project manager or software engineer might be just what you're after - both of which pay more than web design or games programming.

Before you narrow your choices down to just these two options, make sure you really do have a GOOD look at what careers are available to you - as you said it's your life that depends on the decisions you make now so try to be as well informed as possible and choose a role that you enjoy but also offers opportunities for the future.

Best of luck!

What do you think of these computer courses for a career in programming?

We Answered:

How old are you? If you're young and you love programming, I would suggest taking up C# on your own. Just read a bunch of books and play around with it for a few months. Then when you think you want to pursue that language, try to find someone who will teach you C#. If you can't find someone, that's fine. You can always just learn all by yourself until you have a job opportunity.

I myself am 14 and I've learned quite a bit through reading books and tinkering around with stuff.
