Generating money from programming is hard, really hard. I'm a professional developer (though a junior one) and I can't find ways to do it reliably. If it's still interested in programming, here is my list of languages : - Desktop : Python obviously. You can make little graphical interfaces, easy scripts, manipulate data in Excel or Word, even some remote automation since there are network libraires. - Web : I would recommand against full-blown web frameworks like Django or Rails. Start small by using some simple static sites using HTML+CSS and then learn to build dynamic ones using PHP and Javascript. I would also add that there are others ways to make money than programming : I know a 17 y.o. which rigged up a farm of Minecraft servers for his highschool and he's being paid by his classmates for the hosting.
