I am a programmer and have been working for five years, with an annual salary of about 500,000. Then, the relative's child is a doctoral student and teaches in a middle school. His annual salary can reach five or six years' salary, but he is still despised by his relatives.
Many people hold different views. I am a programmer myself, and many people around me are engaged in this industry, and many friends are in the system and hold a solid job.
How should I put this matter, in fact, there are two kinds of life, each with its own advantages. First of all, let's talk about the group of programmers. Obviously, the salary of programmers is relatively high. Although the annual salary of around 500,000 is not something everyone can achieve, generally a programmer who has worked for about 5 years, excluding year-end bonuses, etc., has an average after-tax salary of around 300,000 to 500,000. In addition, many of them have some real estate investment. From the perspective of income, it is indeed higher than other industries. But there is a joke in the industry, which is called "If the family is not poor, who would be a programmer."
Although the wages in this industry are relatively high, programmers have to pay more than other industries. The most intuitive thing is the working hours. The working mechanism of most programmers is 996, and they often have to press 24 hours a day. Wherever they go, they have to carry a computer on their backs, log in anytime and anywhere, and troubleshoot various problems. In contrast, middle school teachers are much more relaxed. Not only do they not need to work overtime, but they also have weekends and weekends. The most important thing is that they have winter and summer vacations every year.
In addition, although the salary of enterprises and institutions is not that high, it is very stable, and the pension after retirement will be higher. But as for programmers, most of them are young people. As they grow older, their own value will be greatly reduced.
In addition, in terms of social status, teachers are more respected, and it is more convenient to do many things, especially children's education, which can help a lot. But programmers will be worse in comparison.
In short, different industries have their own advantages and disadvantages, but the main reason is that many people have different starting points and want different lives. No matter what kind of career you are in, in the final analysis it is entirely a personal choice. I don’t think there is anything comparable, because some people like to be tired but want to make more money, while others want to balance work and life. Well, as long as you enjoy it, it’s the best choice. Of course, if there are two people in the family, one is a programmer and the other is a university teacher, it would be perfect.
Because everyone's values and lifestyles are different. Different industries have their own advantages and disadvantages, and you need to choose a career that suits you according to your personal situation. Although PHP programmers and secondary school teachers are two different professions, they both have their own advantages and disadvantages.
PHP programmers need to have the following technical characteristics:
- Proficient in PHP language and related web development technologies, such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc.
- Familiar with commonly used web frameworks and development tools, such as Laravel, Symfony, Git, etc.
- Understand database design and management, such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.
- Master the basic operation and maintenance of Linux system, such as shell scripting, server configuration, etc.
- Have good code writing and optimization skills, and be able to solve common technical problems and bottlenecks
In addition to technical skills, PHP programmers also need to have good communication skills and teamwork spirit, be able to communicate and cooperate effectively with other developers, designers and project managers, and jointly complete the development and delivery of projects.
A PHP programmer is a technical profession that usually requires some programming skills and computer knowledge. The salary of programmers is relatively high, especially after having certain experience, they can get higher salary and better benefits. In addition, programmers have relatively large work flexibility and can choose to work in a company or as a freelancer. However, programmers need to devote more time and energy to learn new technologies and solve problems. At the same time, the work pressure is very high, and you may need to work overtime frequently and sit in front of the computer for a long time, which also poses certain risks to your health.
Middle school teachers are an educational profession that requires certain knowledge and educational skills. The salaries of teachers are relatively low, but teachers are more recognized in social status than programmers, and enjoy more social benefits and preferential policies. In addition, the work of teachers is relatively easy, with sufficient vacation and flexible working hours. However, teachers need to devote more time and energy to prepare lessons and manage students, and at the same time face the educational problems of students and the pressure from parents.
Therefore, both PHP programmers and middle school teachers have their own advantages and disadvantages, and they need to choose a career that suits them according to their personal circumstances. No matter which career you choose, you need to devote corresponding efforts and time to improve your ability and quality. Ultimately, only by choosing a career that suits you, and maintaining a positive attitude and efficient working style at work can you realize your career goals and life values.
