Is Learning Web Design A Waste Of My Time? (21160 Views)
taiwofawole: 3:45pm On Sep 14, 2021 |
In a country with a weak currency , web deg is not a waste of time at all My advice to anyone reading this thread is , if you are reading this topic then by now you should know nigeria is a very useless country ! Get a skill that would help make a living ! Everybody is shouting I want to leave this I want leave this country , when you get abroad what you do want to go and do ? You think your certificate is worth anything (lol) ? I have few friends that have travel out this country leverage on the location (people trust you more to execute project with a foreign identity which they have for free ) and are making $$$$$$ , sending it back home for investment and leaving a good life abroad. The world is Digital , learn a skill today !!!! Don’t regret it latter Learning a skill is >>>>>>>>>> , having numerous skills is greater than a BSc or even master’s degree in Nigeria . To all young chaps seeing this , take advantage of this opportunity and learn a digital skill No doubt , Freelancers earn more than most bankers , lecturers and even doctors .. They just sit at the comfort of their homes and earn as much as they can (freelancers have no earning limit grin) but the question is do you have a sought after skill like web development , graphics and animation , blogging and content creation and a lot more ? Having some skills alone is not enough to help the main thing is having a sought after skill My name is Kennie Fawole , CEO of Kennietech , one of the most notable web developer & business strategist on nairaland , my thread speaks volume of me , check them out ✅Here is one of my popular thread on nairaland https://nairaland.macsoftware.info/4161635/business-cost-creating-blog-website ✅Also below is thread where people I have worked with have shared testimony about me https://nairaland.macsoftware.info/5297774/thread-meant-customers-review-testimony |

MardiGras: What you should be thinking of now is how to solve a problem and using an app, you coded to solve that particular problem. Learning web design should be left for people. Dont bother your head learning just web design alone, Wordpress themes are there to solve at least 82% of those issues. Thank me later |

Learn web development instead or plus web design. Web development is the real programming of web to be dynamic. If you know your onion and you are known, you can't be out of work. Anyone can learn web design or WordPress thingy. Where you shine the most is where you can build it ground up. But guess what? It is more tasking, and that's why it is more rewarding. NB: programming can't go out of fashion...for those who know it. |

Well web design is not a lucrative business in Nigeria but will be anytime soon since the west Africa internet market is fast growing. No knowledge is wasted my brother.

Yankee101: No, not Python. He should learn to code in C/C++, because that's the most versatile low-level language that would help him across a wide range of engineering machine professions. |

I’m ready to be a UI/UX designer. Who is ready to train me here?

Psychedelia: I'm more interested in him getting paid like yesterday. Data analytics, artificial intelligence etc are built on the back of python. I'm telling him to go for the future not yesterday or today. So yet again, go for python 1 Like |

MardiGras: Forget what most of the guys here are saying. Web Design alone is useless especially n Nigeria. If your aim is to design website alone without learning about the functioning aspect, then forget it (Nigeria). An ordinary WordPress website designers would be better than you. |

I think so Wordpress has made web design easy this days .. Channel your energy on software development |

Op, you're obviously doing it for the money and not really for the ion which isn't necessarily a bad thing. My advice to you is for you to find something that makes you money like a business, business like car wash, or selling of stuffs. While making money you can discover yourself.

Sixsigmahub: 4:14pm On Sep 14, 2021 |
Never it's not. I started just like you few months ago. Today I'm making money. Tech is a very lucrative sector to explore bruhhh Siggy, I talk your mind? |

Bro... take my word, the wine neva see better tapping for Nigeria. But honestly, it is getting there and you'll be best equipped now than ever because by then, the confusion will be too much as many techs, libraries and design pattern will be in demand. Now imagine JAMSTACK... the ecosystem just dey burst bubbles... I am a jamstack developer, but my knowledge span through other tools and techs. As it stands now, the only reason people choose not to work with me in Nigeria is because they can't afford me NOT because they don't see the good job. My point is... learn it as it will help you develop interests in other things. The real clients will pay you your worth. Stand true to the ion and ecosystem and build a good portfolio... the best marketing in this trade is word of mouth. So try to be nice and reasonable to all no matter what. It will definitely pay off. |
