Hi everyone! Nice to meet you!
I have a big question. I want to get into the remote work market, or at least try to find a job with the possibility of travel. I have two options:
Programming with Python Video editing with DaVinci Resolve
I like programming. When I learned the basics, I used strongly typed languages (Java and C#), but I kind of forgot those basics since I left that whole area aside for a few years. Recently, I went back to studying a language that caught my attention: Rust. I loved it; I'd say it's my favorite of all. But there's a problem: the job market.

Hi everyone! Nice to meet you!
I have a big question. I want to get into the remote work market, or at least try to find a job with the possibility of travel. I have two options:
Programming with Python Video editing with DaVinci Resolve
I like programming. When I learned the basics, I used strongly typed languages (Java and C#), but I kind of forgot those basics since I left that whole area aside for a few years. Recently, I went back to studying a language that caught my attention: Rust. I loved it; I'd say it's my favorite of all. But there's a problem: the job market. There are practically no openings for junior developers, and even worse, I don't have any experience in the field. The most viable option I found to enter the market was Python or JavaScript, since they're the most adopted by junior developers, but honestly, I don't like either of those languages at all. I practically want to do it for the experience, nothing more... And in the future, I'll switch to Rust.
On the other hand, video editing... I'm broke and can't afford a license like Adobe's. It's very expensive, especially in the country where I live (Nicaragua) where salaries are a joke, especially for someone like me. I'm 21 and couldn't finish my degree... I have a job that pays just above the minimum wage. I liked everything I saw of DaVinci Resolve. I can say I know the basics of editing, adding a few effects, color grading, cutting, and stuff like that. Even if I had the money, I don't like Adobe, haha. I want to buy the Studio version later on, but I'm still debating that. What would you recommend I learn from these two options? Video editing with DaVinci Resolve, or programming with Python? Or is there any way I could work as a junior using Rust and such?
