u/Potential-Run-5259

I will be taking admission in BCA from IPU this year because honestly I don’t think forcing engineering on myself would end well.

I need to be financially independent within the next 3 - 4 years (decent 70k+) because of personal and family issues.

One of my cousin who works in tech gave me a roadmap like this:

• learn one tech skill properly (probably web dev/full stack)
• build projects + GitHub + LinkedIn
• internships/freelancing
• eventually remote jobs

But I am an absolute beginner and everything feels so complicated like how will I achieve reach on Linkedin and Github... Competition in Freelancing.. and standing out amongst the crowd

My biggest fear is:
What if I spend 3 years grinding and still don’t make it?

So I just wanted a realistic opinion from people already in tech:

• Is this path actually possible?
• Will it be worth it if I go all in?
• And what’s a good backup plan alongside this without ruining focus?

Would appreciate genuine advice😭🙏🏻
