I chose a path that is ripe with opportunity. More specifically, I chose a path wherein there is tons of room for improvement and innovation.
Cutting Edge: I really enjoy being on the cutting edge of technology, so I gravitated to Blockchain tech. Primarily being a Javascript developer, one of the things I noticed immediately after I started working in this field, is that the javascript libraries in this field is rather messy. I think this is because Blockchain related libraries are relatively new and haven't had the opportunity to be refined by programmers that have a high expectation for quality code that conforms to a recognized style.
Job Demand: I chose a path that has a high job demand. Blockchain related programming jobs are plentiful in todays job ecosystem. I see Blockchain as a blooming industry, meaning its in its beginning stages, and will be around for years to come. I see this as an excellent opportunity to start my career and even make a name for myself.
