What is a job based on computer programming that makes a lot of money?
Hello, I am fifteen years old, and I have approximately five days to decide my future job.
I am wondering if there is any career in computer programming that provides extremely good money (400,000$+). Also could you please list some courses that I would have to take in order to achieve this.
Thank you for your time. Full points to the best answer. 
Most programmers don’t make 6 figures (or barely make 6 figures, if they’ve been at it for a while). For that kind of money, you have to have some pretty good ideas, skills, and business sense. One possibility: creating a startup that get’s bought out by a bigger firm. A great deal of success can be had through independent efforts (think: Google, Facebook), but it’s also rather risky (you’re not likely to be the next Google, or Facebook). If you’re interested in a more corporate setting, upper management positions (senior design leads, etc.) probably make closer to the amounts you’re talking about. And any large software company will have plenty of upper management positions (though not easily attained, necessarily, without a lot of motivation and people skills, on top of programming skills).
The courses you take are almost irrelevant; if they have programming courses at your school you should definitely take them; but it’s more important that you have the desire to learn things on your own. You can learn a lot more about programming by just trying things out than by taking structured courses (experience is everything).
I think you have the wrong perspective here: don’t worry about money or courses or your career, even. Just try to find something you like doing, then afterwards try to figure out how you can make money doing it.
Unless you can make the next breakthrough in Social Networking, Social Media, or anything as big as such a trend in the online world, then you can make as much money or perhaps even more. Otherwise, you’ll have to bear with your 5 figure salary a year.
How about trying to apply as a programmer for a full-fledged company that requires an awful lot from a programmer but pays fairly? Like the big guns in Dubai? Perhaps the link below will enlighten you with how much you may earn if you work in the country.
