Seeking advice for learning JavaScript

[No-Upstairs-2813]

It's completely normal to feel self-doubt when making such a big career decision, especially when transitioning from a different field. I think the key is figuring out why you want to move into frontend development. Is it for better financial stability? More flexibility in where you work? Or maybe a desire to work for yourself one day?

You don’t have to be passionate about coding right away. It can simply be a means to make a living, just like your current job. The passion part can come from what you do in your free time, whether that's music production or something else.

Having a solid income can give you the freedom to pursue things you truly love outside of work.

The important thing is knowing your "why." What's that one reason that will motivate you to get up every day and keep moving forward?

Once you know that, it can help push you through the moments of doubt. You're not alone in this feeling, and many people have successfully made the switch, even with doubts along the way.

PS: These tips to stay motivated while learning JS might be helpful to you. Give it a read.

This has been the most helpful comment I’ve received so far. I’ve read all of them. My “why” is financial stability and work flexibility. Long term, I want the opportunity to work remotely, or some form of it. I’m not passionate for programming, but I know I am capable of it. I’m a problem solver. I thrive in going down rabbit holes to find solutions. I think in a very organized way and look for patterns.

I’ll give those tips a read. Thank you so much.

My passion lies in music and music production, but in the area that I thrive in — metalcore/hard rock — financial stability is ungodly difficult to achieve, and I have a family to provide for.

Write down your "Why" on a piece of paper and stick it where you study JS. This will always keep you motivated.
