What sorts of jobs use R that pay so we’ll. Feel free to expand your personal story.

Thanks Adam! And good idea…Google probably has some articles from experts who can answer your specific better questions than I can anyway 🙂

I was quite fortunate to choose a field in college that is in high demand and will continue to be for years to come. As I mentioned in the article, though, it’s possible to transition into this field for people who are willing to take the time to learn a programming language themselves!

I’ve been trying to get started writing code, but I haven’t chosen which language to learn yet. I guess it depends on what you’re trying to do. But rather than asking you 100 questions about where to start, I’ll just google it!

I see programming as being a demanded skill for decades to come! I know someone who says if it were up to him, he would write Google in big bold letters on his resume under skills, 🙂
