I'm 23 years old and have half a year left of my bachelor of Arts degree. I've been learning web design and python for the last 6 - 7 months and I'm enjoying it, but am worried that I've missed the boat on coding (too far behind at my age / the market for programmers is getting oversaturated).
My ultimate goal is to work at (or potentially found) a company working to address climate change and transition to a greener economy. I'm really interested in synthetic biology as a pathway to this and thinking about doing a master's in biomedical or biochemical engineering.
My question is what skills do you think will take me the most upstream for my goals? What skills open the most doors?
I like programming because it actually allows me to build my ideas. Is programming and biology a good combination? Is programming worth pursuing? If so, what area of programming should I focus in on?
Are there skills that I'm overlooking?
