I'm not a programmer, but I make a pretty good living at age 21 doing e-commerce marketing. I also got married last December to my girlfriend of 7 years. I honestly attribute most of my early success to the fact that I started on my career so young since I knew I wanted to be married soon, and thus needed to have independent income (I.E. first side money business at 15, first unpaid internship at 17, first career job at 18, etc.). Thinking back, I definitely would have been an unprepared for life by the time college ended if it hadn't been for that confluence of events. I never really though about what I would do before, and I never had any economically sound interests (I almost went to high school for voice acting and singing!).
