Hello,
I'm really lost.
I'm 29, I already know a bit of programming, I can build (with the help of Claude/GPT) websites with NextJS (front and back).
But I can see that in my country companies barely hire juniors, even people who already got experience struggle with finding jobs.
Should I really go for programming?

is it your passion? Then yes. You just do it because its well paid? Then no.
Programming is problem solving - not writing code. So if you are blessed with the talent to see problems, finding ideas on how to solve them and always having a look into new things, thne you should do it
