Seth’s Answer
Various Government Agencies like people who can code to some extent, the basic jobs there would be in IT
Software Developers: This job can vary from coding in backend(The stuff people don't see) and front end(the stuff people see) but many companies like to hire them for various things from custom solutions to long term technological ones.
Some people self employ and do freelance work as well.
Some Electrical Engineers use coding to make some of their devices work but my knowledge of that is limited.

This was super helpful, thank you!

Atul gave pretty good answers. I think with coding also comes the ability of bringing innovation and potentially becoming an entrepreneur. Lots of coders are pretty creative people and very driven by innovation so after working at a company for some years they decide to pursue their own ideas. Hope this helps!
Most coders start by learning to create websites and basic web servers. Developing your ideas and putting them into a website or app is a very good first step.
if you are interested in web dev, try leaning HTML and JavaScript.

Atul’s Answer
Govt agencies need software engineers: FBI, CIA, DNI, NSA, NASA, etc.
Cybersecurity companies and financial institutions need good software developers.
Apple, Google, and FB need software developers either to enhance their existing products or make new products.
Net-net: In almost any field you will go they can take advantage of software developers including manufacturing industries.

Programing !! How to get started about that ? Programing, or rather computer programing may be one of the most (if not the most) universal careers today and in the foreseeable future. As we depend more and more on computers and robots, the only way to go of the demand for programmers is UP. For the foreseeable future computers and robots in every industry will need instructions from humans and ultimately those instructions need to be entered as an efficient code of one kind of another. Enter the programmer.
Programming, as explained by the great professionals in this discussion, has many options. I want to address also the essence of your question "where". The best thing about the answer to that "where" is "Anywhere" !! An the answer both applies to industries and physical locations !
Almost everything can benefit from programming skills, at the end coding or programming is "just" translating instructions to a language the machines can understand. Coding solves mathematical problems, weather simulations, image processing, accelerates medical research, pours over huge amounts of data to identify patterns and extract useful information. Code control our cars, the power stations, the airplanes, the war machines, the space ships, the robots in the car factories, our medical records, even our social life !
Programming is also one of the few careers that is highly detached from a physical location and in many cases you can just work, most of the time, from the comfort of your location of choice and still be a great contributor, then your skills will be highly portable from one industry to the next. If you are passionate about this and can train yourself for the discipline it requires, for constant learning, the sky is not the limit, space is the limit.
