You have had a new year resolution to be a programmer for 5 years?

If you really want to be a programmer, why haven’t you started already?
After all, you only need a computer, which you apparently have.
We got our first computer when I was about 13 years old.
(yes, I’m that old)
As soon as I was allowed to touch it, I started programming. I enjoyed that a lot and eventually it even became my profession. I still enjoy it, although I don’t do much hobby-progamming anymore these days. -
I don’t think salary is a very good reason to desire any particular career. I can understand that money might seem especially important in third world country, but money does not make you happy. Having a job that you hate will make you unhappy, even if the salary is good.
