I can empathize with this. My brother faced the same situation. It is hard to face an uphill battle against an unforgiving public every day. You're right to try to get out and the time is ripe to do so.
> I failed to learn any of these lanagauges.
You need to dig deep and analyze your past failure, and learn from it. What do you think kept you from successfully learning a language?
- Cognitive: were some of the concepts too difficult or too poorly explained, causing a stumbling block you couldn't get past?
- Breadth: did it seem like too big of an effort, resulting in an intimidation effect you couldn't overcome?
- Goals or the lack thereof: did you make decent starting progress, but not find something concrete to work on that was within your capabilities?
- Patience and persistence: did you make some progress and then find yourself unwilling to stick with it long enough to see it through?
In general, the way to learn a language is to come up with a small (and I mean small!) first project that is well within your understanding conceptually, and then tackle it with your new language. When you get stuck, get reading, and stick to your guns. The feeling of success needs to work as your inspiration.
If overcoming the small roadblocks with a learning victory doesn't give you a bit of a rush and some energy to keep going, though, this might not be the path for you. There's no shame in that; there are still plenty of other directions to take your life in that don't involve programming.
