Hey everyone! I'm in my final year of a non-tech field (Business) and haven't focused on networking much. I'm naturally more introverted and prefer to avoid the drama and politics often associated with school environments. Business was my backup choice, but it's not panning out well in my area. I'm curious—if I start learning tech skills now, do I have a chance to land a job in the next couple of years? I'm not super tech-savvy, but I enjoy gaming and have built my own PC. I took a CS course in high school and liked it, but I shied away from sciences, which made me drop the idea of pursuing tech in college. Any advice would be appreciated!

Definitely possible! It’s hard to predict how the job market will look in two years, but if you dedicate yourself to learning, you could land a role. Just keep in mind that the market can change, so be adaptable in your learning. Focus on building skills that are in demand.
That really depends on where you are. In some places, the tech job market isn’t great right now. It’s good to look for related fields where you can still leverage your background—like law, finance, or analyst roles. I went from being a teller to an investment assistant, and experience is key! I collected a lot of positions until I finally landed a decent job, and networking helped immensely. Just keep sending out applications and gain experience wherever you can!
Getting into tech isn't easy, but it's possible if you're willing to work hard. While your business degree could be useful, it may not hold much weight when it comes to landing a job in tech. The industry is tough to break into, especially for self-taught individuals. You will definitely need to network and connect with others to land that first role. Just keep at it and be persistent!
Yeah, networking is crucial in tech! It might seem tough, but getting to know people in the field can really open doors for you.
