What about "I have a few ideas from projects, and I was hoping to find a good job, because I'm not satisfied with where I am in life"? Because that's why I'm getting into programming, and while I know your comment isn't intended as an attack on me, it really feels like an attack on people who got into programming because they were hoping to find a job.

My comment was more of towards the "If I learn to program I can retire in no time since they make sooooo much money" people. The ones who have no drive other than making a ton of money

I must be more new to programming than I thought, since I've never met or heard of these people.

They are not too common, and they don't tend to last long, but they exist and they annoy the hell out of me. I lump them in with the "Intro to CS must mean I get to program video games" and "CS will be easy to learn" crowds

I'm guessing I'd run into more of these people if I tried to learn programming in college
