I'd like to know what languages one would suggest learning for those who wish to earn a job with a decent company (3.0 out 5 or higher on Glassdoor.com), directly based on how hard you work or contribute.
My IQ is quite unimpressive, i.e. less than 110, so definitely something on the lower end difficulty would be appreciated.
Looking on craigslist, it seems these jobs require a comp sci B.S. degree. I only have a an A.A. Information Systems from a reputable community college. I've taken and passed C++ with a B+. SAT was <%60.
I'm considering studying MySQL and make my way from there.
In the book "Millionaire Next Door", alot of self-made millionaire, work or eventually work for themselves (self-employed). Of course becoming a millionaire is not my primary goal, but simply becoming financially independent individual not slaving away on a paycheck to paycheck living, and living below my means (e.g. avoiding car debts).
I remember reading a Forbes article saying that successful programmers dedicate their free time practicing and messing around with codes and such. I'm willing to do this, instead of playing video games and such.
Part of the reason I'm transitioning to programming is that my AA Information Systems degree/Cisco CCNA certificate is a relative dead end (unless I do an unpaid internship for 6-12 months), though I don't regret it, since it contains valuable information, and the degree opens doors to transition to a different line of work (shows discipline imo).
I studied roughly half of Discrete Math from the following book, and I literally lost interest half way through it. I was hoping to back to another community college to get my A.A. or A.S. in Comp Sci. Discrete Mathematics with Applications: http://www.amazon.com/Discrete-Mathe...h+Applications
Due to the present college bubble, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher_education_bubble, I'm convinced the price for a 4 year college class ($1200 here in Maryland), will collapse within the next 10 years. So going there now, is a huge no-no.
I'm also fairly concerned about obtaining a security clearance.
Web design also seems fairly interesting.
Automation programming seems tempting after view the video, Humans Need not Apply: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Pq-S557XQU
