That is true. Finding a job can be challenging, but if you have the right attitude, you can use this time as your advantage.

It did not take much time for my husband find a job. You see he is a software engineer so that you 'can find work even in the middle of the desert; you just need one computer and internet. Unfortunately, I am not that good mastering the art of code.

Heh ... my wife also used this same arguments ... it took me 6 years to convince her to try and start a career in IT, but after I somehow convinced her, it only took me 6 months to teach her and help her learn enough to get paid first full-time job.

IT is like Medicine. You can be a surgeon, pediatrician, ophthalmologist or a nurse - there are so many different positions in the world of medicine. Exactly the same is with IT. You can be a web-developer, graphic-designer, scrum master tester (QA), product owner, sys-admin, etc.

Not every type of job in IT requires serious coding skills. My wife for example love to work on the frontend - with CSS and HTML. Yes .. this is still kind of coding, but for many people it is much simpler - in the other hand ... for me preparing good styles is harder (somehow she can make every website looks prettier)

You should take a look on @aidancloquell's profile. He is very young, but he is great example, that if you want to do learn how to code you can make progress with small everyday steps.

Right now my wife thanks to a position in a IT, can work remotely from home, I am also doing this from time to time. This is great way to spend more time with own kids... and do not waste time for commuting :)
