You will agree with me that this topic is a fitting one considering the challenges most people who get into tech face today. Most people who get into tech end up stopping half way because they did so the wrong way.
That is quite sad.
Most of them had the wrong mindset, ideas and start in tech.
Are you currently struggling to transition into tech? Or are you in tech but considering dropping out of tech?
Here are tips that can help you get into Tech the right way:
The following are practical ways to get into Tech the right way:
Tech doesn't give you Value, rather tech helps redefine innate value and enhance its application. Before getting into tech, you need to understand how much value you have to bring to the table and this will be a motivating factor to your successful tech career. The tech market isn't saturated for those who can stand out in the industry and to stand out, you need to have a unique value.
Before getting into tech, be convinced within you that you are coming to redefine your value and this will help you actualize your career goals.
Many people get into Tech with the wrong mindset. They simply want to dig the good without passing through the mold and that isn't possible.
There is money in tech but you don't have to start with the make money mindset rather View tech as a journey with a rough process that gets better as you apply what you are learning. Have the mindset that you are in tech for the long term adventure and benefits and that will help you stick around even when it becomes challenging.
Once you have discovered your value, you need to align this value with a career in Tech. Ask yourself the following questions:
Does my value align with core tech courses or tech enabled courses?
Does my value align with a recent tech trend or industry needs?
Is there a training opportunity I can ape in according to my value?
Once you answer these questions, then pick a career that aligns. Read also "How To Turn Your Learning Into A Career"

Match your personality with your Tech choices. If it's a skill that gives you joy while working, then it's a good fit. This will help you know if you wish to be a core techie or not.
For example, some people do not have the patience to learn coding and become a programmer, they could be good with planning and managing product launches. Instead of becoming a programmer, they can pick product management. Some techie pick graphics designs or UI designs because of their love for colors and aesthetic.
Don't go for a career path that is totally strange from your personality, it will be a struggle.
Getting into tech the right way will make your transition journey smooth and rewarding. If you intend to transition into tech, do not rush to do so, it is better to get into tech the right way rather than to do so wrongly and struggle.
