Introduction
In today’s society, jobs are becoming increasingly more technology oriented. In fact, many of these tech jobs prefer, if not require, you to know a programming language. As technology has evolved, jobs have as well. Even in jobs that don’t have a whole lot to do with programming, you can still use programming to get work done. Let's say you had to create a bunch of folders and organize them, then you could just write a program that would do it for you!
Not to mention, there are so many fields of programming!
Added advantages of learning a language
Learning to program will also make you a more efficient and well-organized person. The reason for this is because you practice organizing code in an efficient manner so that when you come back to it later, you're always able to interpret and read it with ease. Learning to program could also help you land a job that would actually pay well. Just recently in 2015, Computer programmers made on average $79,530 and the top 10 percent of those people made $130,800. Not only this, but you have no limitations to what you can imagine and create. You could build your own job!
In conclusion, for these reasons, learning to program is a very useful skill in life to learn and can even land you an amazing job.
So yes, yes you should learn a language.
