We all get excited to start a new trade even if we have absolutely no clue how it may turn out. But we must always remain focused and willing to make sacrifices in order to ensure the job gets done. That’s if this change in career is what we really want.

Let’s be honest here, learning to code is absolute HELL! But it is also addicting. Most coding bootcamps require more than at least 7 hours a day, despite the fact that they claim it to be, “learn at your own pace.”

Who really has an extra 7 hours a day to learn something new and detailed on top of your already busy day. That’s when the juggle comes in. Juggling things is tough, but if you want something, then you will not allow anything to stand in your way of success.

Figure out your juggling process that works best for you, and your family and stay consistent in it.

Coding camps are so hard to achieve because it requires full time work. It requires you to put all of your time into working long hours. It requires full dedication. It requires a whole lot of patience!

These camps are cramming in years of learning materials into a program that is built to take you only a few months to complete. First two weeks you learn the basics such as HTML and CSS. The rest usually gets into GitHub…
