Well, I’m currently an undergraduate, so I haven’t started a career yet. For myself, personally, I would like to create a website in the future. Also, web design is useful in a wide variety of contexts. For coding, I’m not set on a career trajectory yet, but I may want to transition into one which would require a heavier use of information technology.
I’ve read on Less Wrong that learning how to code, or program, is a worthwhile skill to learn, even if one is not going on to become a computer programmer.
I don’t know statistics very well, but I would like to participate, or follow, scientific, and technical, discourse in the world more thoroughly, so learning statistics might be for my overall efficacy as a person, rather than just what I do at the workplace.
Decent list here.
Why do you think that coding, web design and data analysis are useful skills (for a non-programmer in a non-quantitative field)?
