4. Having Coding Skills Can Lead to a High-paying Job<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n![\"computer](\"https:\/\/www.codewizardshq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image.png\")
<\/p>\n
Many aspects of our everyday life are now automated. As a result, the supply gap for workers with coding skills continues to grow.<\/p>\n
It’s possible that 3.5 million STEM jobs will need to be staffed by 2025, including vital jobs in healthcare and technology. As a result, as many as 1 million jobs will go unfilled over the next decade because workers won’t have the necessary coding skills.<\/p>\n
We calculated that a computer science major can earn 40% more than the college average and their lifetime earnings are $1.67M versus $1.19M of a college graduate and $0.58M of a high school graduate<\/strong>.<\/p>\nThat doesn’t mean that everyone will be working as a programmer. There will be plenty of well-paid jobs that don’t directly involve coding, but benefit from coding knowledge and experience. For example, kids interested in biology can use their coding skills in bioinformatics.<\/p>\n
So, even if you aren’t writing code, learning to code can mean a higher-paying job. <\/p>\n
5. Coding Experience Helps College Applicants Stand Out<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/p>\nThe college application process is highly competitive. Every student has good grades and extracurriculars. How can anyone demonstrate the “exceptional talent” needed to get into the college of their choice? <\/p>\n
One way is to study coding and build a portfolio of coding projects. <\/strong>Schools like to see this long-term commitment and investment of time. A coding portfolio provides the admissions officer with tangible evidence of the applicant’s problem-solving skills, creativity, and work ethic.<\/p>\nColleges also value students who have had real-world experience. At CodeWizardsHQ, high school students who complete the core track are given an internship opportunity. They can add the experience and the project to their college applications. <\/p>\n
An internship shows colleges you are responsible and professional, qualities they want in their students.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Reasons Why Kids Should Learn to Code 1.
