Great article and very much true! I did begin learning how to program when I was 12, but after about six or seven attempts over the years, decided it wasn't for me. I just couldn't stick with it.

Now as an eighteen year-old, programming is what I do for a living, and I love it! Instead of working at restaurants for ten dollars an hour like my friends, I make thirty-six an hour with just under a year of experience.

I love my job.
