If you do it for the money (even if you get good money), you'll lead a miserable life. I taught many aspiring programmers over my career and it's painful to see the struggle some go through contrasted with the ease the "naturals" have. Programming classes can't turn you into a programmer any more than swimming classes won't make you a fish. A good teacher will help you become a good programmer, but only if you have the knack [1]. 1- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmYDgncMhXw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmYDgncMhXw
