the self-learning route and knowing what you need for your career path

  Hello, so far my self learning route has taken me to many paths of my education. Theres so much more I want to learn and so much more I need to learn, but I am comfortable to say that my levels as a self-learning developer are at an above average. With the resources that I discover over the internet and one simple click of the search engine, I learn so much more than just sitting in a classroom all day studying for an exam. The important things to keep in mind when going through the self learning route is knowing what you need to know in order to be prepared for the career path you have choosen. For example with computer science and becoming a developer, I know that it took more than just knowing computer languages to become a good programmer, so I wrote down a list of things to study to help me with my journey. Data structures, algorithms, oop, problem solving, discrete mathematics, front-end development and also backend development are the key essentials of what makes a good computer programmer. I believe that self-learning can be applied to any aspect of what you are trying to accomplish in life, self-learning can teach the self-discipline and also acquire the desirable things you always wanted to learn. In a way, its a strategic plan of making the best version of yourself, and helps the mind of becoming more open to learning new things. With my self-learning path of becoming a better programmer, I definitely have become a better person in a lot of different areas. The only way to better yourself is to listen to your desires and let things naturally flow.
