The era of conventional programming is over.. 5 alternative fields of work that provide a profitable income
For a long time, programming has been the golden ticket for anyone who wants to improve their income, escape bad economic conditions, or even work with computers on a regular basis, but the requirements of the labor market have changed rapidly in recent years in a way that has made the demand for the usual programming profession weaker than it was before.
Fortunately, the demise of programming has made way for a range of new jobs and skills that have become a priority, and are now able to generate much greater income than programmers could in the past.

Digital marketing for growth differs from regular digital marketing in that it focuses primarily on achieving positive results, and for this reason it uses a combination of paid campaigns and regular free content marketing to achieve the desired results.
With the spread of influencers globally and the emergence of more of them and companies seeking to benefit from e-commerce, digital marketing becomes one of the most important alternative fields capable of generating profitable income in 2024.

For a long time, programming has been the golden ticket for anyone who wants to improve their income, escape bad economic conditions, or even work with computers on a regular basis, but the requirements of the labor market have changed rapidly in recent years in a way that has made the demand for the usual programming profession weaker than it was before.
Fortunately, the demise of programming has made way for a range of new jobs and skills that have become a priority, and are now able to generate much greater income than programmers could in the past. Through this report, we will review together 5 alternative fields of work that can be mastered instead of the usual programming.
1- Digital Marketing for Growth
Digital marketing has become one of the most important requirements for companies and stores in different parts of the world in record time. Although digital marketing is an old profession that has been around for several years, the "Covid-19" pandemic has highlighted its importance to a very large extent, as it was a way to improve online store sales at a time when regular stores suffered a wide decline in sales.
In general, it cannot be said that digital marketing includes a single skill that can be collected in more than one person together, but the sum of these skills together is the most in demand in the world, according to a report by “Coursera”, the famous platform for skills and training courses.
The Coursera report indicates that strategic planning, funded sales, and search engine optimization are the most in-demand skills in the business sector, and are essential skills that make up the digital marketing sector.

Forbes estimates that the total salaries received by the digital marketing sector exceed $200 billion annually, without considering the freelance or independent business sector, which has a large group of workers in it and also receives many salaries through freelance platforms.

2- Cloud services management
Cloud service management can be said to be an integral part of the world of cloud programming, and it is the natural evolution of the usual programming fields, so we see many programmers moving to it thanks to the common background between it and usual programming, but the only difference lies in the mechanism of work.
While a typical programmer works locally on their own computers, cloud computing and cloud services professionals in general rely on dedicated low-code or no-code programming tools to achieve the same results as traditional programming
While cloud service management tasks overlap with traditional automation and programming, they are very different from them.
salaries in the cloud services sector range between $70,000 and $125,000 annually, depending on the level of skill and experience required.
The same report also indicates that the cloud services sector is expected to generate $1.6 trillion in profits by 2030, a sector in which major Internet companies such as Amazon , Google and Microsoft now operate
- Development of artificial intelligence software
direct reliance on various jobs and businesses. While this sector is highly attractive for investment, this increases the size of salaries and spending on artificial intelligence engineers in various companies and types.
Jobs in the field of AI software development vary between software engineers and data engineers, as well as AI and machine learning engineers, in addition to deep language model and robotics engineers. The combination of all of these together represents the AI sector and the quest to provide deep industrial models.
Investment in the AI sector is expected to continue in the coming years, regardless of the profits generated from this sector, and therefore the demand for these jobs is expected to increase. AI jobs are also an evolution of the usual programming jobs, as they require prior experience in them, and salaries for this job range from $60,000 per year to $238,000
4- Automation experts
Many tech workers see automation as the biggest threat to jobs, as it can now perform the diverse and different tasks that human workers do in different places, but the truth is that automation has opened up a new range of diverse jobs represented by automation expert
The automation expert directly creates the software that collects and processes data and then provides related functions. This requires exhausting work and a deep understanding of each client’s work mechanisms, so it is one of the most profitable technical skills in 2024.
Automation work and sectors vary from restaurants to customer service centers, content creation, and digital marketing in some cases, and this requires automation engineers to have special skills and meticulous work to be able to build the model well and be able to work automatically.
This profession does not require extensive experience in the field of programming or knowledge of specific software, as it relies on its own mechanisms and platforms that allow its use without having previous in-depth experience in programming. Salaries in this job range between $70,000 per year and up to $140,000, according to a report by the Indeed website, which specializes in jobs.
5 Project Management
It cannot be said that project management is a new skill that was born in 2024, but it is an old skill that has many certificates and experiences that talk about it in different parts of the world.
But with the advent of 2024, this job has moved from large engineering projects to technical project arenas, and with this move, many new approaches have emerged, such as “Scrum” or “Agile.”
The salaries of workers in this sector range between $89,000 and $140,000 annually. The reason for the large variation in salaries is the difference in the work mechanisms of each project individually, the method of managing the project, and its size, which causes differences in the requirements and skills required

this job requires the ability to manage time and different teams in order to achieve the desired results in a timely manner, which is what the project manager guarantees at the end of the work period. In some sectors, it also requires technical expertise and knowledge of the sector’s work mechanisms in order to be able to reach the desired results and achieve them in a timely manner.
