Why You Should Consider 'App Development' As A Possible Career Path

by Alex Alvarado

Considering that many children — even some babies —are able to use an iPad about as well as I can, it’s undeniable that we’re living in a technology-infested world. The industry is likely to experience continuous growth throughout the upcoming decade, so it’s time to reconsider the best career path.

Mobile app development seems to be the most popular and expanding choice among technological career choices. The industry provides millions of jobs to people worldwide, so do yourself a favor and capitalize on the technological boom.

Many people are now choosing to start small companies that provide marketing consulting, website development and app development. As a novice app developer, I can speak firsthand regarding the amount of money the industry can offer. Take a chance and invest, or learn to make your own app. There are so many reasons it's worth your while.

Small Business Growth

Domestically, it’s become trendy in the business world to start a small business. Even with all of the new entrepreneurs in the game, it's a great time to opt in. It's all about supply and demand — the demand for app development is really, really high.

It'll Always Be Around

As long as Apple keeps putting out new generations of iPhones, people will continue to buy apps. Furthermore, almost everyone has some type of smartphone on which they can access an App Store to download new programs. Like I said before, it's all about supply and demand. The demand is there, so make yourself a supplier and earn a ton.

It Can Be Done Anywhere

You can create an app virtually anywhere as long as you have the necessary software. A piece of advice for college students (and young people) out there: while free time might be fun and restful, use it productively and make yourself some cash. Trust me, I’m a solid success story.

No Education Required

Like I said before, you can do this from anywhere in the world with the right software. This means you can choose to do this from your dorm room, a local coffee shop, your parents house, wherever! You don't need any specific type of degree to do this. Also, instead of just doing it as a hobby on the side, consider parlaying it into a full-time career.

If you put enough hard work into it, you can definitely make big money. Other people have done this and will continue to do so as the industry expands. Don’t head into the industry with goals of getting rich quick; that’s not how it works. It’s just hard work — give it a shot.
