Off-topic, Programming as a Job?

Posted by: ASBOYD <ASBOYD@...>

To Any and All,
I've always enjoyed computers, pretty much everything about them, and have
really enjoyed programming in FB. I'm presently in a failing fast food
business, and also have a rental property repair service to help make ends
meet. I need to find another way to make a living, and have a few questions
about being a program developer, which is something that interest me but may
not be what I want to do for a living. I have some raw talent (I think) but
know very little about any of it. I just don't what to be sixty and wish I
would have tried.

Here are some of my questions:
* What do I need to know to get into the field?
* How may hours a week?
* How many late nights?
* Do you get weekends off?
* What does entry-level pay start at?

Sorry that the questions are so broad, just need to start somewhere.

Thanks to all,
Al
