A journey for possibilities - Tech it or Leave it

Breaking into the tech industry from a non-tech background and in a low-income country with limited internet connectivity may seem challenging, but it's entirely possible. By adopting a determined mindset and utilizing offline resources, individuals can embark on their tech journey. Engaging with local tech communities, seeking mentorship, and utilizing self-learning through books and educational materials can provide a solid foundation. Making the most of available online resources during periods of internet access and leveraging mobile connectivity can further enhance learning opportunities.

Focusing on practical projects and collaborating with peers locally and globally allows for hands-on experience and exposure to diverse perspectives. Continuous learning and staying updated with the latest industry trends through limited online resources is crucial. Despite the unique circumstances, individuals can defy limitations, believe in their potential, and make significant strides in the tech industry.

The key takeaways are: embrace determination, utilize offline resources, engage with local tech communities, seek mentorship, leverage available online resources during internet access, focus on practical projects, collaborate with peers, and prioritize continuous learning. By following these steps, individuals can bridge the gap between their non-tech background and a rewarding career in tech, even in low-income countries with limited internet connectivity.
