Bascially it's like an evolution: you have to start as something slimy/filthy and work your way up..

>skunk

>monkey
Learn more Java and some Java framework or learn proper Python and get a non-webdev position.

>human
Learn C, Haskell and LISP and find a job as civilized individual.

Thanks guys. I already know how to make basic WP sites with premium themes and such. So basically learn Java and earn money from apps I upload to the Android store is the game plan correct? Once I'm making money doing that star learning more programming languages.

Java is a good overall investment, since there are many kind of java jobs.

But I'm not sure if mobile apps are a good way to make money. I'd rather stick with normal sites and learn some backend which is slightly more advanced than Wordpress.

There are many good beginner frameworks that keep a lot of stuff away from you.

Java has the most jobs.

C# also has a fuckton of jobs.

C++, C, and Python are all about the same after that, all very employable.

Of these, C# and Python are the easiest to learn, while C# is more easily transferable to something like Java. You should probably learn some basic SQL while you're at it.

Javascript is in its own field and technically has more jobs than anythng else I've mentioned, so you might want to go this route if you want webdev-focused things.

Haskell and C++.
If you can't make a GUI app after two weeks, programming might not be for you.

I'm in a similar to OP's situation but I'm already learning Python.

At what point should I look for any sort of employment or gaining anything material at all?
