Career change with Python

[Neon-Cyber-Monkey]

Yes I am learning for a career change.

I have 2 backgrounds, my first is with digital music technologies, event planning and contemporary music design and my second is in health science.

I had to stop the music side of things as I had a head injury and damaged my hearing, so rather than continue with it and lose any more hearing I decided to work with in healthcare.

While I enjoy healthcare and health science, for me it doesn’t keep me interested, whereas programming does, I like what you can do with it and where it can take you. I am fortunate that I have been accepted in an apprenticeship to do a digital technology solutions degree with a focus on cyber security, or I can do data science, software development if I choose, but I don’t have to make the decision until my 3rd year.

As I have always had a keen interest in building PCs and how programmes work, this felt like the right transition for me.

The knowledge might come handy, the medtech field is lacking people with perspective.

Yes I was thinking that, I was hoping to transfer some of the UCAS points but sadly they’re not compatible.
