for anyone who wants to become a programmer, I highly recommend looking into data science / data analytics. demand (and salaries) are through the roof, but most importantly its a lot of fun when you start seeing real results out of real data (ever read fivethirtyeight?)
the amount of free online university level education on data science is staggering. there is so much demand that companies are funding top quality free online education programs for data science. Ive been a programmer and CBT/online education junkie a loooong time and Ive never seen such high quality comprehensive free education on any topic.
it isnt easy though, will take a lot of time (and stats, and math) and studying but if you end up enjoying it, you could real build a great career
