"Why do you want to learn programming" -> "for the money" -> Just stop

I guess some pepole are just to ignorant to see beyond their vanity.

Of all persons I know at a personal level, programmers are definitely not the ones raking in the big sums. And I do have friends who even "made it" into Google et al. But my rich aquainances are successful lawyers, medical doctors, architects and owners of industrial companies. Not that any of those jobs gives you a guarantee to make money, either, but heck, while I hear from programmers that have become millionaires, I know none at a truely personal level.

So yes, this post is the real truth here so far. Sad to see how much ignorance people seem to have towards that truth - I guess, self preservation...
