    I don't see you getting into programming at all. If it's a "money
issue", don't except to make lots of money (or any for that matter). You get
a job and you get paid according to what your employer wants and needs, not
what you are capable of. As a programmer, it is almost necessary to know a
few different languages, or at least different applications of one language.
If you don't think you can do something like C or C++, stay out of the
field. Consider web design.

    I don't think C or C++ are inherently "difficult". The thing is that
they are such powerful languages and their applications are so widespread
that it may seem overwhelming at first. But once you learn one language, the
transition to others is much less tedious.
