Is it safe to seek jobs in the field of programming in the near future?

as u all may know that the field of programming is getting saturated with an enormous no. of great programmers on yearly basis. I am 14 and would need almost 7 years till I get graduated or get a bachelor's degree ...so is it safe to seek jobs in the field of programming after these years because now more and more people are Enrolling for jobs in programming and choosing programming as the career ...so will there be any job risks as there are coders of my age group (here only) that are way better than me ..

The world will always need more and more programmers even after a 100 years... of course the field is secure.

When it comes to the competition, it's up to you and the amount of effort you put into exercising the programming skills that you have (as well as the amount of effort you put into learning new skills).

hi prerit i am also 14 and i think that you are going in the field of web development so keep it up and try to learn others like php and java cause thease are also impotant for web dev. and for your question dont mind for the jobs risk just try to create something awesome like othes did but there would be risk if you just practise the old and always work for others give time and try to create something unique. u should also try to learn cpp it will give you more skills and lastly best of luck for your future.

There could be a risk for a programmer in the future as programming is becoming a core skill like mathematics in today world. With the development of various high level languages it will be very easy to program even for kid in near future. On the other hand, world will need more and more programmers and software engineers as everything is going to be "smart". Therefore, in my opinion, there is no need to fear about a vacancy in this career path. My advice is (as I have been taught), don't be just a programmer. If you know the very basic bottom layer of computers, you will be able to learn any language within few days. Learn concepts and understand it. Hope this will help you.

After 7 there will be more demand for programmers but but after another 7 years i think that AI will takeover programmer and they will start to code

and one thing more as you have written a blog mentioning your skills so i dont think that sololearn gives complete skills so try to surf the net library and book shops you will get a lot of material to boost your knowledge. i am also doing this .

I am just appreciating their efforts...at least they are active and gave answers....not writing anything as a reply will be more like a disgrace to their emotions
