I am new to the world of programming and have a career path in mind.. I don't know any programmers so I haven't really had any feedback on my plan..

I am nearly finished a science degree majoring in biotechnology, as I finish this I am teaching myself java online.. After I finish, I plan on doing an online certified course in IOT (Python Programming w/ raspberry pi)..

I get the sense that this skillset is likely to be desirable in the future and, if anyone more knowledgable could shed any more light, possibilities, good bad or neutral, that would be really helpful..
