Millennials (and Generation Z), put down your iPhones and let us inspire you to code for financial independence..
| 1 in 4 young adults between the ages of 21 – 34 are dependent on their parents in some form, whether it may be rent, car insurance, etc. Having grown children dependent on their funds detracts them from saving for retirement, adding stress to their lives, according to an article on CNBC. |

"Byte Academy was an amazing opportunity. In just 12 weeks I became a prolific programmer, and was able to get a high paying job with a hedge fund. Byte Academy is growing, and employers were impressed that I received a degree from Byte. I believe my time at Byte made me one of the most competitive applicants, and is why I was able to land a job so early. I highly recommend enrolling."

Projected demand for coding skills…
According to the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of web developers – full stack python engineers, back end, front end, etc. – are expected to increase 20% from now until 2022, nearly doubling the growth of all other occupations.
The fact that you have the expertise which is in demand, pays well and you can do from anywhere at anytime…?
Sounds like Financial Independence to me!
