Discussion on: Why shouldn't you learn programming?!

My 2-cents - I was not interested in programming when I started, I was more in to getting things on the screen and the programming was just a way to get there.
So I learned programming even if I did not have an interest in it, and now 10 years later it has been my full-time job for 7 years.

But I believe if you went to another field that you were more interested in, you would be more successful.

I am pretty successful if I may pat my old self on the head, but sure I have asked myself what would have happened if I made different choices.

Even if design and art is close to my hearth, programming have grown on me over the years and now I enjoy that part as well.
