Hey everyone! I'm Brian, a 17-year-old from Uruguay, and I really want to kickstart my programming career. Given my current financial situation, I need to start working soon to support my future studies, so I'm eager to learn as quickly and effectively as possible. I'd love your honest advice on a few things:
1. What programming languages or technologies should I focus on first to help me land a junior job quickly?
2. Can you recommend any good free or inexpensive resources for learning from scratch?
3. What types of remote jobs (freelance or entry-level) could I realistically aim for after a few months of focused study?
If you've been in a similar position, I'd greatly appreciate your experiences and any constructive advice you can share. I'm all in for learning and ready to work hard to make my dream a reality! Thanks!

Start with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript! They’re essential for web development and will help you land freelance gigs. Check out free resources like freeCodeCamp or The Odin Project for structured learning. Once you’re comfortable, try building small projects to build your portfolio. It's all about consistency and curiosity—good luck!
Thanks, that advice is super helpful! I’ll dive into those resources and start building projects as I learn.
