Hi, my name is Eshaan and I am from India.
I am currently in a dilemma. I'm not sure whether I should focus on learning to code or direct all my efforts into learning copywriting and marketing to start earning money.
I have seen many coders end up with what seems like a boring job within a startup, writing programs and codes all day. I have aspirations to start my own business in the future, so I'm not sure if learning to code is the best path for me.
On the other hand, I have seen people my age on platforms like Twitter grinding and hustling to earn their first $10k. It feels like I might be falling behind and need to work 24/7 to catch up with them and earn my first $10k faster than my friends.
Additionally, many of my schoolmates are solely focused on following the school curriculum and preparing for the JEE, the exam for getting into the top colleges in India. However, I feel stuck because not doing well in these exams may lead to not getting into a good college and not having the right network. This might result in me having to conform to the traditional job-seeking path, and I might end up taking loans for my college degree because I'm afraid to take risks.
So, what should I do?
1. Learn to code: In India, coders are relatively inexpensive and have excellent skills, which makes me doubt if I can compete.
2. Marketing/Copywriting
