Developer Career Paths and Certifications

- When I reached the 10th grade, I felt like I needed to figure out my future career. After an extensive search, I thought I had found the perfect career for me, an archeologist. And of course, I ended up getting a BA in journalism. Hey, there I'm Ray Villalobos, and I've been a developer for decades. In this course, I want to help you figure out if being a developer is the right career for you. We'll explore what sort of education you need, how to get a job, and more importantly, how to think of your career in the longterm. I've interviewed a number of professionals, including hiring managers, recruiters, and developers in top companies. I've also talked to people like me who are career switchers. Although I never did become an archeologist, I do hope you join me in an exploration of this super fun, lucrative and exciting career.
