Hello...I am new to doing stuff like this but I figured that I would document my journey to help others that may be in a similar situation.
Let me...

Hey, I‘m on the same road! I did my degree in physical engineering and now I learned so much about javascript, css, react.js just in a couple of months. What I can recommend you is to check out cleverprogrammer on youtube. They will motivate you to go further with web development 🚀
I'm also studying electrical engineering and I have also got this thought sometimes that if I had a chance (I wish I had) I would leave it and go for web development because there's so much I have learned during this ample time in the pandemic ....I just became a Full-Stack Web Developer can you believe it...like I just grew so much love in coding that I just enrolled up in a course and almost 90% completed it. I mean Damn!
I'm with you here, it is so much fun to learn code and to see right on screen what you achieved with some complex but logical programms. In the moment as you understand more of web dev you see there is much more to learn with upcoming new technologies. In physics you don't have that. You just rely on old theories and your highlight at the end of the day is that you were allowed to solder something :D
Don't get me wrong, I love physics and watch astro docus about the universe like "One Strange Rock", but coding is so much more fun :P
LOOOL couldn't have said it better myself
Eyy nice man! I had to make the switch because I wanted to do something I'm passionate about for my career. Also, knowing how to code will make you a valuable asset even in EE jobs! Stand out in your company by creating mini software solutions for them👊🏾😁
Eyyy goodluck! We can do this!
Check out my next post about my plan to self learn through some good resources I found.
You might like it but seems like you are already on a good track haha
An electrical engineering degree, whether you end up working in the field or not, is a valuable "piece of paper" to have. It proves you can problem solve - the essence of software engineering.
Although it is a difficult degree, it awards your hard work with self-learning skills - you'll pick up software no problems. And if you like to think, which you must to get through EE, you'll find your brain in the same deep state of thought.
EE does indeed allow you to cross professional boundaries.
With an EE degree only and no experience, my first job in IT was as an Oracle developer after which I moved to London, set up my own company and worked 8 years for a global financial institution.
One EE alumni became a lawyer, another a financial quant (also with no other qualifications)
The only problem you face is the same problem every developer faces - getting your first job.
Wow thats awesome to hear!...makes me feel like i didn't waste my time after all lol
Thanks myleftshoe🤗
I am a senior student in computer engineering. I have knowledge of the electrical engineering curriculum. If you have questions, send mme a DM and I'll try to help as best as I can. Cheers and good luck on this great adventure!
Oh wow that's much appreciated bro! 💚
I am studing mechanical engineering and I want to do same thing😂
Check out my next post! I did a bunch of research and found a good structured path I think of how I am going to learn! See what you think and maybe you can follow it too! 😁
