1. You are too old: You believe you are getting too old to begin your programming career ( Read ”how your age affects your programming career“ ).
2. You only have a high school education and you think that finding a programming job with just a high school education is impossible.
3. You don’t have a computer science degree. And you reason that you must have 4 years of computer science education to succeed in programming.
4. You want to buy your way to success. So, you think you must spend thousands of dollars in expensive classroom education to learn a computer programming language!
5. You have little real-word experience. And you reason that it’s impossible to find a well paying programming job within a short time of learning programming.

Well, today, you’ll get one more powerful proof that beginner programmers can earn six figures or find a well paying computer programming job with as little as two (2) years computer programming experience.

Well, I receive job postings from recruiters all the time. So, I will post an email I got from one this week. Analyze it, email me about it, refute it, discuss it, do whatever you want with it, and if you are still a skeptic, please take the time to tell me why again :-)

Here is the proof:
