Student (HS) IT & Programming

[BraveBoy69]

Hi everybody

 

Currently i am  17 year olds and i am studying IT & Networks at a school in The Netherlands. Knowing that this is my last year before i go to college i got stressed out a bit.

I really do love programming and making programs ( even if they are little). Currently i still only know a few programming languages : VB , C#, HTML and css (that's a bit dazy) and recently we started with SQL databases and so on.

But even though i love doing it, i'm still pretty average at it. i'm scared that when i finish college or/and uni. that i still won't be good at it. I'm scared that i won't be able to find a job, or even if do , that i will screw up immensely.

 

I'm like freaking out these days and i really don't know what to do. 

I was wondering if any of you guys ever got into this kind of situation? How you evolved your programming and so on.

Everyone freakes out like this. Your going to be fine. You still have 4+ years to learn. Many people go into college knowing almost nothing about their field and do very well. 

 

If you keep learning, you will do great.

Hope so too , but i was looking at some of the job application here in the Netherlands and in Belgium and they are requesting someone who knows like 7-9 programming languages. It wonders me how the bussiness life looks like in a way. How it seems to me, most of these programming languages i need to learn at home.

Get good at interviews.  I've gotten jobs that I didn't even have the qualifications they asked for while I was still in school solely because I aced the interviews. Your potential employer knows that they will have to train you, they don't expect you to walk in first day and know everything you're supposed to do.

They will of course want a flexible programmer, and once you've learnt a few languages it will become easier to learn the next.
College will be pretty flexible in terms of changing your course or the direction of your learning, so if you go through a year and don't believe you're learning everything you can always change things up.
Don't worry about it so much, just learn and have fun during college.
